Prepare the equipment rack
Before you can install the FT5000 in the 19-inch equipment rack, you must attach the centre bar
and large outer bar assemblies to the vertical rails of the rack.
Attach the extension brackets to the equipment rack
N N O O T T E E
Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly spaced in a precise sequence.
Perform the following steps carefully; brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for
the next server you install in a rack.
1.
Remove a right-angle extension bracket, two screws, and a bar nut from the kit.
2.
While facing the front or back of the rack, orient the right-angle extension bracket so that the
short side with the four mounting holes is facing toward the outside edge of the vertical rail.
3.
Position the bracket behind the mounting holes in the vertical rail.
4.
With a pencil, mark the top and bottom hole locations of the bracket on both sides of the
vertical rail; no hole numbers are printed on the rail.
5.
Insert a screw through the marked top hole in the rail and through the top hole in the
bracket. Place a bar nut on the screw and loosely tighten it. Repeat for the marked bottom
hole.
6.
Install the three remaining right-angle extension brackets on the other three vertical rails by
repeating steps 1–5 above.
Attach the centre bar and large outer bar assemblies to the equipment rack
1.
Orient a centre bar and large outer bar assembly so that the flat side is facing toward the
brackets attached to the vertical rails and the safety latch on the centre bar is near the back of
the rack.
