Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 28.5" and 33.5" deep. The SCF424
is not designed for installation into a Telco post-style rack unit.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: A front section which secures to the front post
of the rack and a rear section which adjusts in length and secures to the rear post
of the rack. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side
of the chassis.

Adjusting the Rails

Each rail assembly has an adjusting screw. loosening this screw allows you to adjust
the length of the rail to fit a variety of rack sizes.
