What must be considered regarding stab-in rails with installing a PowerEdge XE server?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Understanding Stab-in Rails:

Stab-in rails are designed to simplify the server installation process. These rails enable a quick and straightforward installation of the server into the rack.

Compatibility and Usage:

Stab-in rails are specifically designed for use in 4-post racks with square holes. This compatibility ensures stability and proper fitting within the rack structure.

Installation Process:

Before initiating the installation, verify that the rack is a 4-post, square hole type.

Position the stab-in rails to align with the square holes on the rack. Typically, stab-in rails have tabs that fit precisely into these square holes.

Mounting the Server:

Once the rails are securely attached to the rack, the server can be mounted. The design of the stab-in rails facilitates a smooth insertion of the server, ensuring it is securely held in place.

Ensuring Proper Fit:

After the server is mounted, check to ensure that it is level and securely attached. This step is crucial to prevent any movement or displacement that could occur due to vibrations or physical disturbances.

But we also need to remember that the inner rail must be installed on the server first.

Wait, are we talking about stab-in rails or stab-in-the-back rails? I'm so confused right now.

B is the answer, for sure. You don't want that server extending out of the rack, that's a recipe for disaster!
