• 1x Phillips Screwdriver
• 1x 7mm 6-Point Hex Wrench
2.1.2. Slide-rail Kit Contents
The slide-rail kit is an optional 19-inch 4-post rack-mount accessory consist of:
• 2x Slide Rail Assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be installed on either the right
or left side of the rack.
• 1x Screw Pack
Note: The front-to-back rail spacing must be at least 671 mm (22.01 inches) and not more
than 935.2 mm (30.68 inches) from the outside face of the front rail to the outside
face of the back rail.
2.1.3. Installing the Server Into a Rack with Slide-rail Kits
Step 1: Pull out each inner bracket from the slide-rail kits until it locks in the
extended position. Push the slide-rail lock to release the inner bracket
from the mounting bracket. Do the same to the other bracket.

Step 4: Determine which rack hole numbers to use.
(a) If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, determine
whether the threads are metric or standard. Select the appropriate screws
from the package included in the mounting kit.
(b) If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, the mounting
screws are secured with caged nuts.
Step 5: Loosely attach the front slide-rail to the front right rack-post using two
screws into the upper and lower holes. Do not tighten the screws yet.
Step 6: Adjust the length of the slide-rail by sliding the rear bracket ange to reach
the outside edge of the rear rack-post. Loosely attach the rear bracket to
the rear right rack-post with two screws.
Step 7: Attach the second slide-rail to the left rack-post in a similar manner. Again,
do not tighten the screws.
Step 8: Fully extend the front and rear brackets to where it reaches the rack-post.
Now tighten the screws to lock the ends of the rails in place with your
Phillips screwdriver.
