    			    MANHATTAN G SERVERS MISSING DRIVE RAILS

    PROBLEM
    Manhattan G 560 servers may be missing some of the drive rails used to mount
    floppy, CD-ROM, and hard drive options in internal and external drive bays.

    CAUSE
    Manhattan G 560 Servers should include a set of drive rails for each empty
    drive bay in the system. The number of drive rails will vary depending upon
    the number of devices installed in the system at the factory.  Some systems
    were inadvertently shipped without the correct number of drive rails.

    SYSTEMS AFFECTED
    AST PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION

    The rails may be ordered as either a kit, or as individual parts. The part
