down. Then, lift the access panel away from the chassis.

screwdriver) then pulling outward on the finger notch while sliding the foot toward the front of the
workstation and lifting it off.
4. Remove the top cover by pushing (use a screwdriver) the plastic boss 1out of its retention hole and
sliding the cover toward the rear and off.
NOTE: If the top cover is difficult to remove:
■Remove the right side cover by removing the two screws attaching the side cover to the rear of
chassis. Then push the side cover toward the top of the workstation.
■Be sure to the replace the right side cover and front bezel after removing the top cover.

Install the Rails to the Rack
1. Use the mounting aid at the end of this document to determine a 5U space and mark the slide locations
on the rack.
2. Install the appropriate clip nuts in the positions indicated if the rack does not have threaded holes.
There will be four clip nuts on each front column and two on each rear column. Refer to the mounting
aid at the end of this document for more information.
NOTE: HP racks use M5 screws and clip nuts. Compaq racks use M6 screws and clip nuts, and many
third-party racks use #10-32 screws and clip nuts.
3. Adjust the length of the rails to fit the rack using a Phillips driver. Only the rear mounting bracket
should be adjusted. Loosen the rear slide bracket and adjust the rack depth by putting the mounting
brackets to the outside of the front and rear columns and sliding inwards to fit the rack. Re-tighten the
screws.
4. Attach rails to where marked in step 1. Secure the rails to the rack by inserting two appropriate screws
for your rack (see previous note). Be sure the slide extends to the front but do not extend the slide.

5. Slide the workstation into the rack by engaging the inner slides with the outer slide mechanism.
CAUTION: This step requires two people.
6. Slide the workstation into the rack until it stops. Then, fully extend the slides, press the release button,
and slide the unit all the way back into the rack.
