Steps

  1. If you are installing a new system into the enclosure, remove the I/O connector cover from the I/O connectors and save for future use.

  2. Orient the system so that the system handle is on the left side of the system.
  3. If you are installing a half-height system into bays 11 or 12 in the enclosure, rotate the LCD module to the horizontal storage position to prevent accidental damage to the LCD screen.
  4. If you are installing a half-height system in one of the eight upper bays of the enclosure, align the guide rail on the upper edge of the system so that the rail fits between the plastic guides on the enclosure.

    If you are installing a half-height system in one of the eight lower bays of the enclosure, align the edge of the system with the guide rail on the floor of the enclosure.

  5. Holding the system handle, slide the system into the enclosure until the system locks into place.
