Attach the Slide-Rails

Use this procedure to attach slide-rail assemblies to the rack.

Note:

Before you install the slide-rails, be sure to install the server right-angle AC power cables (part number 7079727 - Pwrcord, Jmpr, Bulk, SR2, 2m, C14RA, 10A, C13). In the 1000 mm rack, the standard rail kit slide-rails obstruct access to the front of the 15kVA, 22kVA, and 24kVA Power Distribution Unit (PDU) electrical sockets. If you use the standard AC power cables, first plug them in, and then install the slide-rails into the rack. After you install the slide-rails, you cannot disconnect or remove the standard AC power cables from the PDU but you can remove them from the system.

  1. Orient the slide-rail assembly so that the ball-bearing track is forward and locked in place.

    Figure showing the slide-rail being oriented with the ball-bearing track locked into place.
