Installing in a Rack

Installing the LANserver EX3 Rack-Mount Rails
c
The following sections describe how to install the LANserver EX3 and
Ethernet switch in a rack.
When installing the LANserver EX3 in a rack, follow the instructions supplied
in the LANserver EX3 rail kit to install the rack-mount rails and ensuring:
• The rails do not interfere with the power strips, power cords, or other
cables at the back of the rack.
• The bottom of the LANserver EX3 is at the bottom of a U-alignment
space.
• The rails span two U-alignment spaces and use the middle two slots for
screws.
• The rails allow the LANserver EX3 to slide completely into the rack.
• The front edge of the slides are set back approximately 1/2 inch from the
rack front channels.
• The rails attach as far forward on the LANserver EX3 as possible.

Mounting the LANserver EX3 on the rack-mount rails is a two-person
task. It is heavy, fits tightly into the rack rails, and the rails might need to
be spread slightly to fit the LANserver EX3 If you try to mount the
LANserver EX3 alone, you might damage the LANserver EX3 or injure
yourself.
