Rack Installation

Before installing the disk drives, it is recommended that
the unit first be secured in the rack.
WARNING: Use care during rack installation or removal to
prevent accidental tipping of the rack causing damage or
personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: soyez prudent lors de l'installation ou
de l'enlèvement du support afin d'empêcher le
renversement accidentel de la crémaillère, pour éviter
dommages et blessures.
The rail kit included with the E2000 is adaptable for
installation in the two major types of hardware racks:
squared-holed and round-holed EIA-310 racks.
NOTE: A two-post telco-style rack or any rack that is less than
29-inches in depth will not support this appliance. Also, for
threaded-hole racks, Overland Storage recommends using a
shelf.
The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left)
and RH (right) and must be mounted on the appropriate
side (when facing the rack front).

Attach Inner Rails to Chassis

This procedure is required for all rack types:
1. Mark the screw holes on the rack where the rails will
be installed.
NOTE: Be sure rear holes are horizontally in line with the
front holes to ensure the unit remains level.
2. Remove the inner rail
