Rack Mounting
Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the Jatheon archiving appliance
into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the
market, which may mean the assembly procedures will differ slightly. You should
also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You may have received rack rail hardware with the Jatheon appliance (Two front
inner rails may already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of
two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the
preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails are left/right specific.
Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of
the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes
on the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach
the rail to the chassis with M4 flat head screws. Repeat these steps to install the
left rear inner rail to the left side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the
rail brackets when installing into a telco rack. Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails
have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into
place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position.
Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the
rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you
pull it out for servicing.
