Installing with Rackmount Kit
This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit (MCP-
290-00004-03). You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with
the rack unit you are using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the
market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
The rack hardware includes two assemblies that consists of two sections: an inner
rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1).
Installing the Chassis Rails
1. Detach the two rail sections from each other by depressing the locking tab
on the inner rail to release it from its locked position, then pull the two rails
completely apart.
2. Repeat step 1 for the remaining rail assembly.
3. Position the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the
chassis making sure the three screw holes line up. Note that the rails are left/
right side specifi c.
4. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2). Repeat
this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also
need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis 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.
