Rack Installation Guide These instructions describe how to install Series 250, 550, 1050, 2050; models 3000, 3010, 5000, 5010; and models 3020, 3520, 5520, 6020, 6120, 9200 in a standard Telco-type rack. It contains the following sections: “Overview,” next “Rack Installation Guidelines” on page 4 “Required Tools and Equipment”...
Overview Depending on your order, some systems require that the inner rails be attached to the chassis before they can be installed to the rack. Square-Hole Post Adaptor Rack cabinets may have square or circular holes in the vertical posts. If necessary, using the included adaptor, you can convert the square post holes to circular holes to accommodate standard screws.
The enclosed short rack adaptors (if needed) The enclosed square-hole post converter (if needed) If your system is missing any components please contact Riverbed Technical Support for a replacement part at http://www.riverbed.com. Mounting Series 250 and 550 to a Rack The following section describes how to install a Series 250 or 550 system to a rack.
1. To install the mounting brackets, use the included screw kit to secure the brackets with three screws on each side towards the front of the system. Figure 1-1. Installing Brackets to the System 2. Slide the system into the rack until it is flush against the rack post. The Series 250 and 550 must be installed in a center mount.

2. Install the outer rails to the rack posts. Figure 4. Attaching the Outer Rails to the Rack 3. Pulling open the release latch on the inner rails, slide the inner rails into the outer rails, pushing the system into the rack. NOTE: The ball retainer on the outer rail must be returned to the foremost position in order to connect with the inner rail on the chassis.

Mounting the System to a Two-Post Rack The Series 1050 and 2050 can be mounted to a two-post rack in the center-mount position. The following section describes how to remove the pre-installed four-post rails and install the two-post brackets for installation in a two-post rack.
4. Attach the first bracket to the chassis with the three included screws. Figure 8. Attaching Two-post Center-mount Brackets 5. Slide the second bracket onto the pegs of the first bracket by placing the second bracket over the first bracket at the widest opening then sliding towards the narrower part to secure. Figure 9.
