Installing The Mounting Rails - Sun Microsystems Sun StorEdge A3500 Manual

2.2

Installing the Mounting Rails

Tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver
Equipment:
1. Determine where you will install the controller module.
Look at the Rackmount Placement Matrix on the docs.sun.com Web site if you have
not done so already (Section 2.1.2 "Rackmount Placement" on page 2-4).
2. Unpack the rackmounting hardware.
You should have two mounting rails and at least 12 screws in two sizes (#8 and #10).
3. Identify the left mounting rail from the right one.
The mounting rails are not interchangeable and must be installed in the correct
orientation inside the cabinet. To determine which rail is which:
a. Hold one of the rails by its bracketed end (the end with all the screws) in your
right hand.
b. Aim the right-angled edges so that the long edge (solid) is down, the short edge
(with many holes) is up, and the screws are facing left or right.
4. Attach the left and right mounting rails.
You will install the rails at the hole positions listed in the Rackmount Placement Matrix
document.
