RACKMOUNT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The box your G4 GraniteRack was shipped in should include two rail assemblies, two rail
mounting brackets, and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack.
There are a variety of rack units available on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. Refer to the installation instructions for your model of rack unit.
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
Separating the Sections of Rack Rails
1. Extend the rail assembly by pulling it out-
ward.
2. Press the quick-release tab.
3. Separate the inner rail extension from the
outer rail assembly.
4. Repeat theses steps for the second rail
assembly.
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions
1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side
of the chassis, aligning the hooks of the
chassis with the rail extension holes. Make
sure the extension faces outward, just like
the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the
chassis.
3. Optional: Secure the rail extension to the
chassis with 4 screws (included).
4. Repeat these steps for the other side of the
chassis.
Installing the Outer Rack Rails
1. Secure the back end of the outer rail to
the rack using the leaf springs and screws
provided.
2. Press the button where the two outer rails
are joined to retract the smaller outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks of the rails onto the rack
holes and, if desired, use screws to secure
the front of the outer rail onto the rack.
4. Repeat these steps for the other outer rail
extension.
Installing the Recorder into a Rack
1. Extend the outer rails
2. Align the inner rails with the outer rails on
the rack.
3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails,
keeping pressure even on both sides.
When pushed all the way into the rack,
the rails will click into a locked position
(preventing removal without pressing the
quick-release tabs).
HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION
Your G4 GraniteRack is shipped with the drives in a separate box. To insert the drives, pull
the blue latch release on the front of the drive, insert the drive into the proper port, and close
the latch.
Your hard drives should be inserted in order, 1-16, depending on how many hard drives you
have purchased. Each hard drive is marked with the number of its port. See the diagram
below for the order of hard drive ports.
FOR UNITS WITH RAID CONFIGURATION ONLY:
Use only identical models to replace the hard drives
Do not re-insert failed drives.
