the cover.
c)
Slide the drive in from the front of the carrier.
d)
Mate the connection on the drive with the connection
on the drive carrier circuit board.
e)
Flip the drive/carrier assembly over, and secure the drive in place with the provided screws.

2.1.3 Drive, bay, and frame installation for RAX219 and models with one open bay.
2-Bay RAX models can be purchased with one or both bays unpopulated. RAX219 is the “empty bay”
model of the 2-bay RAX series. For instructions on how to install your HDD, bay, or frame into these
products, please see the install guide that accompanies your particular bay.
2.2 Tips for Rack Mounting
•
Elevated Operating Ambient:
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
•
Reduced Air Flow:
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Mechanical Loading:
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Circuit Overloading:
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading the circuits might have on over current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable Earthing:
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
