Remove the Drives
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove the
drive assemblies to lessen the unit’s weight prior to removal.
The assemblies must be reinstalled in the same bays when done.
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
This process applies to both drive assemblies and blanks:
1. Press the release button on the right side of the carrier,
and note the bay from which it is removed.
2. Using the handle, pull the assembly out.
3. Set the assembly on an ESD-safe surface.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for each remaining carrier.
Remove Unit from Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at
least two people) be used during rack installation or removal
to prevent injury.
WARNUNG: Um Verletzungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir
zur Rack-Installation oder -Deinstallation die Nutzung einer
mechanischen Hebehilfe (oder mindestens zwei Personen).
AVERTISSEMENT: AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter toute
blessure il est recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux
personnes au moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de
l'enlèvement du support.
1. Remove and retain the four screws from the front
flanges and move the unit onto the lifter.
2. Move the unit onto a secure surface.
Attach the Rails
Remove Fixed Brackets
1. Remove the four screws holding the right bracket to the
chassis. Set the bracket aside.
2. On the left side, remove the four screws holding the left
bracket, and set it aside.

Optional Sliding Rail Kit Instructions
Attach Inner Rails to Unit
1. Select a rail assembly and slide the inner rail out until it
stops.
2. Slide the inner rail release latch forward and remove the
inner rail.
3. To retract the middle rail, release the lock (1) and slide it
back into (2) the outer rail.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for the other rail assembly.
5. Align the inner rail against the side of the server with
the correct side up.
6. Using the supplied screws, secure the rail.
7. Repeat Steps 5–6 for the left rail.
Optional Steps for Thicker Rack Rails
For rack rails thicker than 3mm, the sliding rail anchors
cannot be seated without exerting excessive force and
potentially damaging the sliding rail kit.The brackets need to
be removed from each end of the slide rails to make the anchors
seat securely.
For standard rack rail sizes 3mm or less, skip this procedure
and proceed to “Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack.”
1. Locate the bracket on the end of a slide rail.
2. Remove the screw securing the bracket to the rail.
3. Push the bracket toward the end of the rail, prying the
back of the bracket upward to unseat and remove it.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for each end of both rails.
Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack
NOTE: When replacing the fixed rails in a previously installed unit,
the new rails should be attached to the same front vertical rack
holes that the fixed bracket used.
1. Position the front of one of the rails in line with the front
vertical rail mounting holes (1) and move it forward until
the rail anchors are through the holes.
2. Push the rail toward the outside of the rack (2) until the
rail locks snap into place.
3. At the rear (3), slide the outer rail in or out to fit between
the vertical rails (a) and repeat Steps 1–2 to secure it (b).
NOTE: Make sure the rear holes are the same height as the
front holes so the rail is level.
4. For the other rail, repeat Steps 1–3.

Install Lock-down Brackets on Rack
1. To install the server in the rack, first attach lock-down
brackets to the rack.
Facing the rack, place a bracket around the rail
anchors and align the center hole of the rail mounting
with the center hole of the bracket
2. Use the supplied screw in the center hole to secure the
lock-down bracket to the rack.
3. Repeat Steps 1–2 on the other side of the rack.
Install Ear Brackets on Server
1. Starting on the right side, fit the ear bracket where the
fixed bracket was removed from the chassis, then use two
screws to secure the ear bracket to the chassis.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the left ear bracket.
Install the Chassis
Install in Rack
1. Using the mechanical lifter, position the appliance in
front of the rack.
2. Insert the inner rails into the outer rails and slide the
unit into the rack.
3. Using the four retained screws, secure the SnapServer
in front of the rack.
4. For thicker racks: Using the two supplied screws,
secure the rear ends of the slide rails to the rack rails.
IMPORTANT: If this is a new appliance install, continue with
the SnapServer XSR 40 Quick Start Guide instructions for
connecting and configuring the appliance.

2. Slide the assembly in until the latch clicks, locking it in
the bay.

IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive
assembly or a blank carrier must be installed in every bay. No
empty bays are allowed.
Reattach the Bezel
1. Position the bezel with the top and bottom edges aligned
with the slots on the front of the appliance.
2. Push the bezel onto the unit until the retaining clips latch
and the bezel snaps into place.
3. Verify that the bezel is aligned properly and that all the
LEDs are visible.
