Rack Mounting MAX Servers
62 MAX Servers: HT Home Theater and MMS Multimedia Servers
Rack Mounting MMS-01S/02S/02SB/04S/12S Servers
MMS-01S, -02S, -02SB, -04S and -12S servers come with a Rack-Mounting Kit, which includes the
hardware required to mount the servers in a standard 19-inch (48-cm) rack.
Each Rack Rail Installation Kit supports one server, and the parts included in the rack rail hardware kit
include:
Two Outer Slide Rails
Two Inner Server Rails
Two Long Extension Brackets
Two Short Extension Brackets
Four 3-hole Locking Plates (with large holes)
Four 3-hole Locking Plates (with small holes)
Variety of screws (20 large, 20 small/long and 20 small/short)
The basic steps for installing the MMS server into a rack are:
1. Prepare the Slide Rail Assemblies: The Inner and Outer Rails must be separated before they can be
attached to the MMS and the rack.
2.
Attach the Inner Server Rails to the MMS Server.
3.
Attach the Extension Brackets to the Outer Slide Rails.
4. Install the Outer Slide Rails in the server.
5.
Slide the server (with Inner Server Rails attached) into the Outer Slide Rails in the rack.
Each step is described in more detail in the following subsections.
MMS-900 Servers use a more heavy-duty version of the installation kit to
accommodate their size and weight. The Rack-Mounting Kit that comes with the
MMS-900 comes with its own installation instructions.
