For first time installers, you have read the instructions included in the rail kit. The rail kit instructions
also explain stabilizing the rack, installing devices, and power distribution.
•
You have identified the rack location for the right rail. The system requires 2U of rack space.
Caution:
Two people are required to safely install the system hardware in a rack. The Rack Installation
instructions included in the rail kit box contain important safety and procedural information.
Procedure
1. Pull apart the front and rear rail brackets, lengthening the rails to the correct distance for your rack.
2. Align the top of the rail brackets with the U space markers on the front and rear rack columns (callouts
1 and 2).

3. Firmly push the brackets onto the rack columns so that the blue latches (callout 4) engage and lock.
4. Make sure that both the front and rear bracket latches are closed and the rails are secure.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the left rail.
NOTE:
The blue bracket latches will not close properly if the front and rear rail brackets are not level.
Make sure that both rails are level, and that they occupy the same U location in the rack.
Next steps
You can now mount the system enclosure in the rails.
Mount the enclosure in the rails
It takes two people to install each system into the rails, one person on either side, each holding the
system enclosure at the front and rear.
