2.6.1 Slide Rail Installation
2.6.1.1 Remove the Chassis (Inner) Member
Pull the slide open. Then press the rigger down as show on the drawing and pull the chassis (inner) member out.

2.6.1.2 Mount the Chassis (Inner) Member to the Chassis
You may opt for an M4 or MS pan head screw. The screw head of either M4 or MS can not exceed 2.0 mm. Alternatively, you may mount the slide member to the chassis through standoffs. Likewise, the head of stand-off may not exceed 2.0 mm. For each side of the chassis it is highly suggested to use 3 of the screws or standoffs for slide attachment.

2.6.1.3 Attach the Cabinet (Outer) Member to the Rail
Insert the stag into the upper and lower square holes on EIA rail from the back of the rail.
Push the safety lock forward to secure the bracket. It's important to check if the safety lock is in an unlocked position before mounting the brackets.

2.6.1.4 Mount the Chassis into the Cabinet
Insert the chassis (inner) member into the cabinet member as shown on the drawing. It's important to check if the ball retainer is in a fully open position before installing the chassis. It might cause catastrophic damage to the chassis if the ball retainer is not in a fully open position while mounting the chassis. While you are pushing the chassis back to the cabinet, you need to release the slide from the locking position by pressing the trigger down.

*Press trigger down to release the slides from locking

Operation
操作
3.1 The Front Panel/ 前面板
The front panel features five LED indicators, dual USB3.0 ports besides four hot-plug HDD bays. In addition, there is a momentary power switch, a system reset button in the front panel. Specific functions are described below.
natural_image
Back view of a black server rack with ports, connectors, and ventilation fan (no visible text or labels)3.1.1 Switch, Buttons and I/O Interfaces/开关和按钮/開關和按鈕
Momentary Power Switch: Press this switch to turn the system power on or off. Please use system shutdown or press this switch for few seconds to turn off the system ATX power.
System Reset button: Press this button to reboot the system.
Dual USB3.0 Ports: For connecting a wide range of USB3.0 devices for data transfer, backup or input.
Five LEDs are placed on the top of the front panel to indicate system power and LAN activity. Refer to Table 3.1 for the LED definition summary.
Note!1. The HDD LED only works for SATA HDD from the motherboard, for example: front SATA1 to SATA 4 of TE and TA version, and internal/rear two 2.5" SATA drives.
Each SAS / SATA HDD tray has a pair of LED indicators for displaying the SAS / SATA HDD power and the activity status. Please refer to Table 3.2 for the LED definition summary.
X: Don't control LED behavior
When the system power is on and the SAS / SATA HDD is well connected, the activity LED glows steady Green. If it fails to light up, check connect the SAS / SATA connection. Ask a technician to inspect the related cables in the chassis if you are unsure.
The rear plate includes 1-slot I/O brackets, and a motherboard I/O opening. (see Figure 3.3).
