Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+
into a rack unit. If the 2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ has already been mounted into
a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received a total of six rack rail sections with the 2021M-T2R+/
2021M-82R+. Two of these sections secure directly to the 2021M-T2R+/2021M-
82R+ and the third (which actually consists of two joined sections) secures directly
to the rack itself. All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should
be included in the hardware kit.
Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the
chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two
is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the 2021M-
T2R+/2021M-82R+ making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails
are left/right specifi c. Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the
side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1, step 1). There should be two screws for each
side. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the opposite side of the chassis.
Then attach the two rear chassis rails to the chassis in the same manner, again
keeping in mind that the rails are left/right specifi c. (You will also need to attach
the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.)
Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also
lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
