Installing the DXi6900-S System in the Rack
(0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails (see Figure 13 below). Rack
cabinets may have round or square holes. For more information, refer to the DXi6900-S Site Planning
Guide.
Figure 13: Rail Hole Pattern
12.7 mm (0.5 inch)
15.9 mm (0.625 inch)
1U (44 mm [1.75 inches])

WARNING: If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the DXi6900-S chassis too
high in the rack. The weight of the chassis may cause the rack to become "top heavy" and unstable if
installed in the top of an empty rack.
To mark the rack, place a mark (or tape) on the rack's front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom
of the unit you are installing in the rack. The bottom of each 1U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal
strip between holes (marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets).
Installing the DXi6900-S Array Module or Expansion Module
Installing the DXi6900-S Array or Expansion Module Rack Mounting Rails
1. Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward, and orient each end piece to
seat in the holes on the front side of the vertical rack flanges (see Figure 14 on the next page).
2. Align each back end piece in the bottom and top holes of the desired U spaces.
3. Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack flange and the latch clicks into
place. Repeat these actions to position and seat the front end piece on the vertical rack flange.
Removing the Rails
If you need to remove the rails, pull on the blue release latch on each end piece and unseat the rail from the
rack.
