Install Rails for DE2-24P Drive Enclosures
The rails for the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure are preassembled with rail-location
pegs on the front and back for installation in a square hole rack and a round hole
rack. If you install the rails in a threaded, universal 19-inch rack, you must
replace the rail-location pegs with adaptor pins before installing the rails in the
rack.
Note: To simplify the following procedures, install the left-side rail assembly first
and then the right-side rail assembly.
Install Rails in Threaded Racks
1
Use a Torx Number 20 screwdriver to remove the rail-location pegs from
the front and back of the rails.
2
Use a 10mm wrench to insert the adaptor pins into the ends of the rails
where you removed the rail-location pegs.
A 10mm wrench and adaptor pins are included in the rail kit packaging.
Before handling a component, touch a grounded surface to discharge any
static electricity.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to your wrist, and stand
on an ESD mat while replacing components.
Ensure that you have a Phillips Number 2 screwdriver with at least a 4-inch
shaft.
If you are installing the rails in a rack with threaded holes, make sure you
have a Torx Number 20 screwdriver.
Ensure that you have a flashlight to use when verifying that the Drive
Enclosure is seated in the rack.
