Chapter 13 Alternative Rack Mounting Step 2: Attaching the Slides to the Rack Before fastening the slides in the rack, you must detach the slides' mounting flanges. They are not used in the HP System Rack. Instead, studs on the slide insert in holes on the inside face (the side) of the rack columns. 1.

Pull the stabilizing foot forward out of the bottom of the rack. 3. Hold the template alongside the inside face (the side) of the left-front rack column. Line up the template with the same rack space that the server will occupy. (The template covers an area 7 EIA units high, the same height the server requires.) The template directs you to a single hole in the rack column that will be used for mounting the slide. Mark the hole for future reference. If you do not have the template, Figure 13-4 shows what hole on the column the slide will mount through. 120

Step 2: Attaching the Slides to the Rack
Before fastening the slides in the rack, you must detach the slides’ mounting
flanges.
They are not used in the HP System Rack. Instead, studs on the slide
insert in holes on the inside face (the side) of the rack columns.
1.
Use a nut driver or wrench to detach the two mounting flanges from each
slide. See Figure 13-3.

2.
Pull the stabilizing foot forward out of the bottom of the rack.
3.
Hold
the template alongside
the inside face (the side) of the left-front
rack column. Line up the template with the same rack space that the
server will occupy. (The template covers an area 7 EIA units high, the
same height the server requires.) The template directs you to a single hole
in the rack column that will be used for mounting the slide. Mark the hole
for future reference.
If you do not have the template, Figure 13-4 shows what hole on the
column the slide will mount through.
