You might need to attach the mounting hardware to the rack. Use the procedure in this section to
perform this task. This section also includes illustrations of the related hardware components and shows
how these components relate to each other.
Attention:
To avoid rail failure and potential danger to yourself and to the unit, ensure that you have
the correct rails and fittings for your rack. If your rack has square support flange holes or screw-thread
support flange holes, ensure that the rails and fittings match the support flange holes used on your rack.
Do not install mismatched hardware using washers or spacers. If you do not have the correct rails and
fittings for your rack, contact your IBM reseller.
