Installing the System into the Rack

Open Rack Installation

After you have installed the inner rails on the chassis, you are ready to install the outer rails of rail
assemblies to the rack. The rails are designed to fit in the racks with the depth of 28" to 33".

1. In the package, locate a pair of front (-short) and rear (-long) brackets. Please note that

the brackets are marked with Up/Front Arrows (-front) and Up/Rear arrows (-rear).

2. Secure the front (-short) bracket (marked with the Up/Front arrows) to the outer rail with

two Type G screws as shown below:
