TrueNAS Unified Storage Array
Basic Setup & Deployment
Step 4. Match mounting bracket to EIA rack/
cabinet type.
The rails shipped with a new TrueNAS Array
are set to the square configuration by default.
Caution:
Note the orientation of the front and rear rails
and install in the correct direction.
The front of the rail
has a black plastic rail guide to assist guiding the chassis
rail into the outer rails.
If the outer rails are not attached
correctly, the TrueNAS Array cannot be mounted on the rails
later.
Step 5. Set the rails to the desired position
by
pressing the button and rotating the bracket to the desired
orientation until it locks into place. Repeat this on each
bracket.
Step 6. Mount the outer slide rail on the rack.
Make sure the rail kit is long enough for the rack depth.
Double check the outer slide rail orientation before moving
on to the next step.
For racks with square holes:
snap in the front and
back of the outer rail to the front and back of the rack frame.
The brackets use a spring-loaded locking mechanism and do
not require mounting screws.
Front end of square hole
slide for Type 1 (default)
Front end of round hole
slide for Type 2
Rotate the bracket to change
the hole pattern according to
the arrow indicator
Front
Rear
For racks with round holes:
Position the rail in the
desired position in the rack, and use 8 #32 thumbscrews to
secure the rail.
Step 7. Install the chassis.
To mount the TrueNAS
Array, carefully align the TrueNAS Array’s inner rails with the
guides in the outer rails that are attached to the rack. Once
aligned, slide the appliance toward the rack. Push the unit
toward the rack until in the locked position, then use the
release locks and push the appliance in the rest of the way
until flush with the rack or cabinet. Now secure the system
to the rack using 8 #32 screws. You may need to adjust the
position of the TrueNAS Array to align the screw holes for
securing the unit.
Caution:
Two people are required to safely install or remove
the TrueNAS Array from a rack or cabinet.
To remove the TrueNAS Array, remove securing screws, fully
extend the unit until it is in the locked position, and pull the
pin lock latches to release the lock. Now remove the unit
from the rack. To remove the inner rails from the TrueNAS
Array, remove all securing screws and slide the rail as
indicated to release from the system chassis.
