Optional Steps for Thicker Rack Rails
For rack rails thicker than 3mm, the sliding rail anchors cannot be seated without
exerting excessive force and potentially damaging the sliding rail kit. The brackets
need to be removed from each end of the slide rails to make the anchors seat securely.
For standard rack rail sizes 3mm or less, skip this procedure and proceed to
Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack."
1. Locate the bracket on the end of a slide rail.
2. Remove the screw securing the bracket to the rail.
3. Push the bracket toward the end of the rail, prying the back of the bracket
upward to unseat and remove it.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3
Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be
used to raise and align the unit to prevent injury during installation. Use care when
inserting or removing a unit into or out of a rack to prevent the accidental tipping of
the rack, causing damage or personal injury.
WARNUNG:
Um Verletzungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir zur Rack-Installation oder
-Deinstallation die Nutzung einer mechanischen Hebehilfe (oder mindestens zwei
Personen). Seien Sie vorsichtig bei der Rack-Installation oder -Entnahme, um ein
versehentliches Kippen des Racks zu vermeiden und das Rack nicht zu beschädigen
bzw. sich selbst zu verletzen.
AVERTISSEMENT:
recommande d'utiliser un monte-charge (ou au moins deux personnes) pour élever
ou aligner l'appareil. Faites attention lorsque vous insérez ou retirez l'appareil d'un
support, pour empêcher le déversement accidentel de la crémaillère causant des
dommages et des blessures.

2. Insert the inner rails into the outer rails and slide the unit into the rack.
3. Using four of the provided screws, secure the SnapServer to the front of the
rack.
4. Additional step for thicker rack rails: Using the two supplied screws,
secure the rear ends of the slide rails to the rack rails.
Step 4
Mount the Drives
CAUTION:
Do not remove Overland-certified drives from their carriers. Doing so voids
the drive warranty.
The SnapServer uses up to 12 disk drives. The drives can be either Certified Overland
drives or third-party drives selected from the qualified drive list. Overland-certified
drives come pre-installed in carriers while third-party drives must be installed in the
empty drive carriers shipped with the appliance.
Install 3.5-inch Drives in Drive Carriers
1. Align the drive's SATA connector with the opening at the rear of the empty carrier
and insert the drive.
