how to install HPE Mounting Rail Kit for Server
- Step 1 — Prepare: Confirm that the server model is compatible with the rail kit and locate a suitable 19-inch rack. Gather the included hardware and tools required by the installation manual.
- Step 2 — Attach brackets to the server: Use the provided screws to secure the mounting brackets to the server chassis. Ensure brackets are aligned and tightened to a firm, but not over-tightened, fit to avoid chassis deformation.
- Step 3 — Mount rails to the rack: Position the rails on the rack posts at the desired height and secure them with the included fasteners. Check that rails run parallel and are firmly anchored to prevent any misalignment during operation.
- Step 4 — Align and slide the server: With assistance if needed, align the server with the mounted rails and slide it into place. Guide the server along the rails until it engages with the rail grooves or rollers, then secure any locking mechanisms per the manual.
- Step 5 — Final checks and testing: Tighten all fasteners to specified torque, verify the server is stable and level, and perform a basic operation test to ensure connectivity, airflow clearance, and cable routing are unobstructed.
