9. Lift the Xpander, line up the inside slider with the slider assembly mounted in your cabinet
and carefully slide it into place.
10. Try sliding the Xpander in and out slightly to make sure it moves freely.
11. Secure Xpander into place within the cabinet using the front-panel screws provided.
12. Connect the PCIe x16 external cable to the HIC in the host computer.
13. Connect power to Xpander.
Use this step if you need extender brackets
for mounting in a 1000mm deep cabinet.
1. Mount the extender bracket on the outer
slide mount behind the front bracket
(S32760 A). Mount the rear bracket (S32760
A) to the rear end of the extender bracket.
Leave the nuts loose so you can slide the
rear bracket along the extension bracket to
mount on the cabinet’s vertical rails and fit inside the cabinet. Check to make sure the
mounting brackets and slide rails are level from front to rear before tightening the screws
and nuts. Align the front of the slider with the front of the cabinet.
2. If you do not need the extender brackets, mount each of the two sliders into the front and
rear mounting brackets (Part # S18500A) and slider assembly with the bolts and G-nuts
provided in the packaging. Use the Philips #2 screwdriver and the 3/8” wrench or socket to
secure snugly but not tightly each slider to the front and rear mounting brackets. Check to
make sure the mounting brackets and slide rails are level from front to rear before tightening
the screws and nuts. Align the front of the slider with the front of the cabinet.
3. Repeat the process for the other two front and two rear mounting brackets (as well as the
extender bracket if needed) and slider assembly on the right side of the cabinet.
4. Check to make sure that the slide rails are level, both from front to back and from right to
left. Once you’re sure the slide rails are level, you’re ready to tighten the mounting screws.
See the image at the right.
5. Tightly secure the screws holding the sliders to the front and two rear mounting brackets on
each side of the cabinet.
6. Extend the slide rails almost all the way out
the front of the cabinet.
7. Lift the Rack Mount 16 enclosure, line it up
carefully and slide it into place. Before lifting

8. Try sliding the Rack Mount 16 in and out slightly to make sure it moves freely.
