N2 AND N4 RACKMOUNT KIT INSTALLATION This section provides information on installing the OpenEye 2U and 4U NVRs into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions Each rackmount kit includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack.
