3.2. Mounting the Appliance into RackΒΆ

The appliance comes with a set of server rails. Follow the steps further to install the rail and mount the appliance into the rack.

  1. Separate inner and outer rails.

    Separate the inner rail from the outer rail by sliding the inner rail forward until the locking tab is visible, as per the illustration below. Depress the tab and separate the inner rail from the outer rail by sliding the two apart.

  2. Attach the inner rail to the appliance.

    Align the rectangular cutouts on the inner rail to the pre-formed bayonets on the side of chassis. Secure the inner rail with a screw from the standard screw kit after all the bayonets go through the cutouts and properly engage.

  3. Install the outer rail into the rack.

    When selecting the location, note that the rails are in the middle of the appliance. Make sure that you install the outer rails with 1U clearance above and below.

    Make sure that the safety lock is unlocked before mounting the brackets.

    Insert the locating pins into the upper and lower square holes on the rail from the back of rail. Push the safety lock forward to secure the bracket.
