2.2 Installing the Rails

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly
procedure. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack. This rail set fits a rack between 28" and
34" deep.
The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting
hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
specific rack you are using.

Identifying the Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of three sections:
an inner rail that secures directly to the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a
middle rail which extends from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for
the left and right side of the chassis (looking from the front) and so labeled.

Locking Tabs

Each inner rail has two locking tabs. One keeps the inner rail, and therefore the chassis, from
accidentally pulling completely out of the rack. The other holds the chassis in a fully extended
position when it is pulled out of the rack for servicing.
There is a small locking tab on the middle rail. It keeps the extended middle rail from sliding
back into the outer rail. Push in the tab to release it. If the inner rail is installed in the middle
rail, the locking tab is released automatically.
