Installing the Model MPX Appliance in a Rack
Jul 15, 2013
Most appliances can be installed in standard server racks. The appliances ship with a set of rails, which you must install
before you mount the appliance. The only tool you will need to install an appliance is a Phillips screwdriver.
Caution: If you are installing the appliance as the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom. If the rack contains other
units, make sure that the heaviest unit is at the bottom. If the rack has stabilizing devices available, install them before
mounting the appliance.
The MPX appliance requires one rack unit. Each unit ships with a mounting rail kit that contains two rail assemblies, one for
the left side and the other for the right side of the appliance, as well as screws to attach the rails. You must install the
assemblies before mounting the appliance in the rack.
To mount the appliance, you must first install the rails and then install the appliance in the rack.
Perform the following tasks to install the rails:
Remove the inner rails from the rail assembly.
Attach the inner rails to the appliance.
Adjust the length of the rack rails.
Install the rack rails on the server cabinet or rack.
The following figure illustrates the steps to attach the inner rails to the appliance, attach the outer rails to the rack, and
then slide the appliance out of the rack to ensure that it is locked in place.

To remove the inner rails from the rail assembly
1. Place the rail assembly on a flat surface.
2. Slide out the inner rail toward the front of the assembly.
3. Depress the locking tabs until the inner rail comes all the way out of the rail assembly, as shown in the following figure.
