Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See Power off the server.
Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Procedure
Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
On each side of the server, align the rack latch with the pin on the chassis. Then, press the rack latch onto the chassis and slightly slide it backward.
Figure 1. Rack latch installation
Install the screws to secure the rack latch on each side of the server.
Figure 2. Screws installation
Route the bundle cable for I/O connectors on the right or left latches as shown. Then, install the screws to secure the cable retainer.
Note
To avoid unnecessary damage to the bundle cable, ensure that it is routed and fixed on the upper frame of the cable retainer and does not cover the screw holes.
