Rack Installation

WARNING: Install multiple units from the bottom up.
Extending a unit out of a rack that has empty spaces
beneath it might cause the rack to tip over.
The rail kit included with the expansion unit is adaptable
for installation in the major types of hardware racks:
• Squared-holed RETMA rack
• Round-holed RETMA rack
• Round/Threaded-holed RETMA rack
NOTE: The two-post telco-style rack or a rack less than 32-
inches in depth will not support the expansion unit.
The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left)
and RH (right) and must be mounted on the appropriate
side (when facing the rack front).

Attach Inner Rails to Chassis

This procedure is required for all rack types:
1. Fully extend the rails, push the latch on the inner
member down, and remove the inner rail
Release and slide the middle member back in.
