Chapter 2
Installing the Server
Push the server into the slide rails until it stops at the internal stops.
b.
Push in the plastic release clip on each inner rail (labelled PUSH), and then continue pushing the
c.
server into the rack until its front latches engage the rack posts.
Optional: Secure the server in the rack more permanently by using the two screws provided. This might
Step 4
be desirable if you plan to move the rack with servers installed.
With the server fully pushed into the slide rails, open a hinged slam-latch lever on the front of the server
and insert the screw through the hole that is under the lever. The screw threads into the static part of the
rail on the rack post and prevents the server from being pulled out. Repeat for the opposite slam latch.

Whether you are mounting the CMA to the left or right slide rails, be sure to orient the engraved
marking, "UP" so that it is always on the upper side of the CMA. See
