## How to Insert the Server Into the Rack

The following procedure explains how to insert the server, with the mounting brackets attached, into the slide-rail assembly on the rack.

| Caution - To reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as instructed inHow to Remove Components to Reduce Weight.

Before You Begin

Perform the steps in How to Install the Express Slide Rails Onto the Server and the Rack.

1. Pull the middle sections from the outer rails so that the middle sections are extended until they click and lock into place.
2. (Two trained staff) Lift the server by the handles and insert the mounting brackets attached to the server into the middle sections until the brackets engage with the middle sections.

   Note - Make sure that the mounting brackets enter the middle sections, straight on and not at an angle and that the ball bearing retainer is engaged with the inner sections.

3. Push the server into the rack until the slide rails lock into place.

   At this point the server is engaged with the slide rails but is not pushed into the rack fully.

4. To release the lock on the mounting brackets, locate the green plastic release tabs (on both left and right sides) on the mounting bracket.
5. With two hands, slide the green plastic tabs toward you to release the lock and push the server all the way into the rack.
