Mounting slide rails to the rack

If the rack already has slide rails, skip this section. Slide rails or rack shelves are not provided with the
router. Prepare them yourself or order them from HP. Make sure the slide rails or rack shelves you use
are standard accessories.
In addition to slide rails, you can use a rack shelf to support the router. This document describes how
to install slide rails only.
The following procedure uses a 19-inch rack as an example.
Before installing the slide rails, verify that the slide rails can support the weight of the router. For the
weights of the router, see
To install the slide rails:
Mark the positions of the slide rails on the rack. Make sure the space above the slide rails is
1.
greater than the height of the router chassis. For the router dimensions, see
specifications."
Install the slide rails to the lowest possible position when installing a single router on the rack.
2.
Make sure the bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrower metal area
between holes.
Align the screw holes on the two sides of the slide rails with the corresponding holes on the
3.
rack, and then fasten the screws.
Install the other slide rail in the same way. Keep the two slide rails at the same height so that
4.
the router can be placed evenly.
The height of the front panel of the rack is a measurement of one RU (44.45 mm, or 1.75 in). As
shown in Figure
15.87 mm (0.63 in), 15.87 mm (0.63 in), and 12.70 mm (0.5 in).
