Rack Mounting the Chassis
Note. Read this entire section before you start mounting your chassis into its rack.

Choosing a Rack Location

The rack that will hold your chassis must be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated. The chassis must be
located near a grounded power outlet.

Be sure the rack is anchored to the floor so that it cannot tip over when the device is extended out
of the rack.

Allow at least 25 inches of clearance in front of the rack so you can open the front panel and access
the drive unit.

Leave at least 30 inches of clearance in back of the rack to allow sufficient airflow for chassis
ventilation and for easy access.

Mount the chassis on an appropriate rack using the provided rack mounting and support equipment.

Connect the power inlet to an adequate power source. Connect both of the power supply
connections to a separate electrical circuit for added protection.

Installing the Server into the Rack

1. Attach a slide to each side of the device using 5 M-10 screws. Make sure the plastic retaining
mechanism is located at the back of the device.
