    ETTING P THE ESKTOP ODEL Turn Lockdown Screw Figure 2–3. Locking the Lockdown Screw Setting Up the Desktop Model The PowerLoader™ desktop model requires no mechanical assembly for mounting. Place the unit on a desk, table, server top, or other stable, horizontal surface. Make sure the cooling grilles at the rear of the unit are not obstructed.

  • Page 29: Remove Tabletop Cover

    ETTING P THE OUNT ODEL Remove Tabletop Cover Before installing the tabletop PowerLoader™ module in a rack it must be converted for use, using the Rack Mount Adapter Kit. First remove the tabletop cover Figure 2–4). 1) Remove the four screws (M4 x 8mm) that attach the cover to the sides of the unit. 2) Slide the cover toward the rear until clear of the unit.

  • Page 30: Install Top Cover

    ETTING P THE OUNT ODEL Install Top Cover With the tabletop cover removed, install a sheet metal top cover that protects the PowerLoader™ interior components when mounted in a rack (Figure 2–5). 1) Place the top cover over the PowerLoader™ chassis top with each side flange to the outside of the chassis.

  • Page 31: Install The Rack Slides

    ETTING P THE OUNT ODEL Install The Rack Slides After you've attached the top cover, attach rack slides to both sides of the module using the procedure outlined below. Attach each inner slide of the rack slide assembly to the module enclosure first.

Install the Panel Extensions The left and right panel extensions are alike, so there is no risk of confusing the parts on assembly.

  • Page 33: Installing Unit Into A Rack

    ETTING P THE OUNT ODEL 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other side of the chassis. Installing Unit Into a Rack With the inner rack slides attached to the PowerLoader™ unit and the intermediate/outer slides separated from the inner slides, you can install the outer rack slides in the rack. 1) Locate the screw holes in the front and rear rails of the cabinet or equipment rack where the drive is to be installed.

  • Page 34: Figure 2-10 Sliding Module In Rack

    ETTING P THE OUNT ODEL 13) Slide the module in and out several times as shown in Figure 2–10, ensuring that the inner and outer slide locks engage, and that the module does not bind against the slides. Figure 2–10. Sliding Module In Rack 14) If binding or misalignment with other rack devices occurs, loosen the four screws that secure the slides to the front rails and the four screws that secure the slides to the rear rails and realign the module.
