Installing the 3U Rackmount Enclosure in a Rack
The rack rails supplied with the 3U rackmount enclosure can be used to install the unit in racks that have round, square, or threaded holes in the vertical mounting bars. The kit contains the following items: · A template to mark the rack for proper alignment of rack-mounting brackets. · A cable management system consisting of a cable reel and cable rack bracket. · A pair of spring-loaded rails.
Tools Required
If you are installing the tape enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the vertical mounting bars the following items will make the rack installation easier: · Pencil · #2 Phillips screwdriver to install the cable management system. · Two M6 x 1. 0-12L Phillips screws that came with your rack.
Installation Requirements
When installing the enclosure in a rack: · Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted component, and work upward. · If possible, install the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward the top of the rack. [. . . ] 10 Align the rear of the storage enclosure rails with the front end of the spring-loaded rack rails, then push it fully into the rack (see Figure 15). Caution: Be sure to keep the component parallel to the floor when sliding the storage enclosure into the spring-loaded rack rails. Tilting the component up or down could result in damage to the rails.
