Installing the RA4100

If all the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the gaps that
are left will cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps need to be covered with blanking panels.
To install the RA4100 in a 19-inch rack, you must perform these steps.
1. Remove any blank panels from the chosen rack location.
2. Use the supplied rack template tool to mark the location of the mounting
hardware on the vertical mounting rails of the rack cabinet. One side of
the rack template tool is used for the front rails of the rack and the other
side for the rear rails. Instructions are included on the rack template tool.
3. If a rack component sits immediately below the position of the storage
system, place the rack template tool against the front rails and rest it on
the top of the previously installed component.
4. Push back the tabs in the top of the rack template tool (marked #) and
place them in the correct holes in the mounting rails. The hole pattern
indicated on the sides of the rack template tool should match the hole
pattern in the rails.
