1. If attached, carefully remove the front bezel of the N3400 by pulling out on the rectangular openings
(marked by blue stripes) on either side of the bezel.
2. From the front of the rack, set the storage system onto the rails and slide it into the rack until the
front mounting bracket of the storage system is a few inches from the rack frame.
As shown in Figure 4 on page 5, position the spacer plates 1 over the locating pins (holes H3 and
H4) on the left and right rails. Slowly slide the chassis into the rack until the front mounting bracket
of the storage system is flush against the spacer plates.
