2.3 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit. Rack installation
requires the use of the optional rackmount kit.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure
will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the system into a rack with the
rack rails provided in the rackmount kit. You should also refer to the installation instructions
that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these assemblies consist
of two sections: an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself and two rail brackets,
which also attack to the rack (see Figure 2-1.)
Installing the Chassis Rails
You will need to remove the top cover and the feet to add rack rails to the chassis. First,
remove the top and right covers (top and left covers when standing as a tower chassis) by
first removing the screws that secure them to the chassis. Depress the button on the top
(side if tower) of the chassis to release the cover and then pull the cover off. Then unscrew
the four feet and remove them from the chassis (see Figure 2-2).
You can now attach rack rails to the top and bottom (now the sides) of the chassis. First add
the rack handles. Then position the inner chassis rail sections you just removed along the
side of the chassis making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/
right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-3). Repeat this
procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis.
Locking Tabs: The chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to
lock the system into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal
position.
