Quantum NDX NAS 1U Rack User's Guide
This section provides information on installing the Quantum NDX NAS
1U Rack into a rack unit with the rack rails provided.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the
installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
You may have received rack rail hardware with the Quantum NDX NAS
1U Rack. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the
chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the
chassis, one on each side just behind the pre installed front inner rails.
Note that these two rails are left/ right specific.
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the
right side of the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align
the two square holes on the rail against the hooks on the right side of
the chassis. Securely attach the rail to the chassis with M4 at head
screws. Repeat these steps to install the left rear inner rail to the left side
of the chassis (see Figure
brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two
functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these
tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This
prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you
pull it out for servicing.
