Rack Rail Kit Parts
Prerequisites
Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention to the airflow within the rack
cooling, connector and cabling options.
The installation kits come with enough system mounted rails and flat head screws to install two systems.
The 2 system metal frame will fit into racks with from 23.6” (600mm) to 31.5” (800mm) space between the vertical supports.
You may choose to install your system in the right or in the left part of the metal frame. The following instructions apply to
installation in the right part. For installation in the frame’s left part, follow the same instructions, while replacing “right” with
“left”, and vice versa.
To mount the system into the rack:
Insert the SE (single ended) plugs to the dedicated inlets in the system’s rear panel.
Carefully position the SE (single ended) cables one on top of the other, and use three cable ties to pair them together (shown in
figure).
Coupling the Cables with Cable-ties
At least two people are required to safely mount the system in the rack.
While pairing the cables, make sure the cables are paired in symmetry to the switch, in order to avoid damaging the
cables.
