theleft and right side rack rail assemblies.
Positionthefixed chassis rail sections youjustremoved along the sideofthe chassis making sure the

therailbracketswheninstalling into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails havea locking tab,whichserves two functions. The first isto lock the
serverintoplacewheninstalledandpushedfullyintotherack,whichisitsnormal position. Secondly,
thesetabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from
comingcompletely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
