Installing the support rails

Before installing the EXP100 in a rack, you must install the rails and rack-mounting
hardware that come with your expansion enclosure. The EXP100 requires an
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 310-D Type A 19-inch rack cabinet. The
distance between EIA rails, from the front to the rear of the rack, is 60.96 cm (24
in.) minimum and 81.28 cm (32 in.) maximum. This rack conforms to the EIA
standard. Where you place the support rails in the rack depends on where you
intend to position the expansion enclosure.
Complete the following steps to install the support rails:
Note: Refer to Figure 17 on page 36 while performing these steps.

1. Ensure that the rack has already been installed.
2. Ensure that a stabilizer has been correctly attached to the bottom front of the
rack to prevent the rack from tipping forward while the EXP100 is being
installed.
Refer to the installation and service guide, or equivalent, for the rack as
required.
3. Locate the two support rails and six of the eight M6 screws that are supplied
with the EXP100.
