Attaching the Mounting Hardware to the Rack Enclosure
Before performing this procedure, read through each step and study the illustrations.
When installing the Model 6C4, you will need the following items:
v
Rack-Mounting Template
v
2 Slide Rail Assemblies
v Cable Management Arm
v
Rack-Mounting Kit Envelope
v Screwdriver or similar tool, if available
Attention: Mounting the rails is a complex procedure. To install the rack rails correctly, you must read,
and then perform each procedure step in the order given. Failure to perform each step in the order given
may cause rail failure.
To install the rack-mounting hardware into the rack, do the following:
1. Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit, rack-mounting template, and the system rails that were shipped
with your system.
1 Rack-Mounting Template
2 Rack-Mounting Hardware Kit
3 System Rail Assemblies
Notes:
a. The system rails are front-to-back and left-to-right side dependent when you are standing in the
front of and facing the rack. The rails are labeled on the front lower corner, left or right. The back of
the rails can be identified by the two large alignment pins and the rail-length adjusting plate. The
top of the rails can be identified by the screws located on the top of the front and rear rail flange.
See the following illustration.
b. The rack-mounting hardware kit has four changeable rail-alignment brackets and two sets of
alignment pins. If the alignment pins that came adjoined to the rails do not fit your rack, remove the
brackets from the rails. To remove the alignment-pin bracket from each of the rails, do the
following:
1) Remove the screw located on top of the rail-bracket assembly.
2) Slide the top of the alignment pin bracket from beneath the front-rail bracket.
3) Lift the bottom tab out of the front-rail bracket slot.
