The P9 is 3/4 inch beyond a P8 or P7 server? If so, then look to see if you
put a screw in the front of the rail BEFORE you pushed in the server. I'll
bet it's hitting a screw. If it's the same as the P8/P7, that's where its
supposed to be.
The HMC does not have rails that allow it to be pulled out like the earlier
HMCs did. There is no provision for that in the rail. Both Steve and I
alluded to that earlier when we told you there was no cable management arm
for the HMC.

Subject: P9 racking/rail questions/issues
1)The front of the 9009-42A server extends 1/2 to 3/4 inches past any other
device in the rack.
It appears to be mounted correctly and is pushed all the way in.
Is this normal for P9 servers, or do I have a rail/rack issue?
2) When pulling out the HMC, it only extends 1/2 way, not fully like the
9009-42A.
Is this normal for the 7063-CR1, or do I have a rail/rack issue?
If engaging the release buttons, the HMC then extends further, but becomes
released from the rails.
Thank You
