Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

After the inner rails are installed onto the CSE-HS201-R000NFP chassis, begin installing the outer rails onto the rack.

  1. Confirm that the left and right outer rails have been correctly identified.

  2. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.

  3. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.

  4. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.

  5. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the rack.

  6. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

  7. Repeat for the other outer rail.

Important: This figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
