3. Remove the 2U data manager enclosure and all contents from the shipping carton.
Position and secure the support rails in the rack using the information in the following steps and
Figure 1-17 on page 20.
1. Determine the vertical position within the rack where the rails will be mounted taking into
consideration the data manager uses 2U of vertical space on the rack rail. The top-most
mounting hole for each 1U of space is often marked by a small hole or other mark on the rail.
Important: If the rails are not mounted in holes that are vertically aligned from front to back,
the rail may be damaged and the mounting will not be secure.
2. Noting the proper hole positions, squeeze the multi-pin adapter mounting pins together at
one end of the slide rail and insert them into the holes in the rack's mounting rail.
Tip: When installing the rail mount into the rack, it is much easier to first insert the lower
pin of the rail pin adapter in the selected hole. Then squeeze the adapter pin by pushing it
down from the top to insert it in the upper selected rack rail hole.
3. Ensure that the slide rail is level and repeat the procedure at the opposite end.
4. Fully extend the rail assembly until the extension lock is revealed.
5. Press the slide extension release levers and move the slide rail in and out to check for proper
functionality; if any binding is noted recheck the mounting positions of the rail.
6. Repeat these steps for the slide rail on the opposite side of the rack while ensuring that it is
aligned exactly with the existing slide rail.
Use the following instructions to mount the data manager on the slide rails and install it in the rack:
1. Extend both slide rails into the fully extended (locked) position.
2. The rail system is now ready to receive the data manager chassis.
Important: Lifting and placing the data manager chassis onto the rails is a two-person job.
If needed, use an appropriate lifting device.
