Rack Mount Installation
Installing the Rack Mount Unit
Once the inner rack slides have been fastened to both sides of the module, the
intermediate/outer slides should be separate from the inner slides. The next step is
to install the outer rack slides in the rack mount cabinet.
1) Locate the screw holes in the front and rear rails of the cabinet or
equipment rackwhere the drive is to be installed.
2) Loosely assemble a mounting bracket to each outer slide, using two 10-
32 screws and a nutplate for each. Select slots in the mounting brackets
so the length of the assembly equals the distance between the front and
rear rails of the rack.
3) Fasten each outer slide behind the front rail of the rack using two 10-32
low-profile screws and one nut plate.
4) Fasten each of the mounting brackets to the front of the rear rail of the
rack using two standard 10-32 screws and one nut plate.
5) Tighten the screws installed in step 2.
6) If they are not already locked, pull the intermediate slides toward the
front (out of the rack) so that they lock in the extended position.
NOTE: The next step should be performed by two people.
7) In front of the rack, lift the module to its installed height. Engage the
inner slides mounted on the module with the intermediate slides
protruding from the rack, and slide the module toward the rack until the
inner slide locks engages the intermediate slides. Depress the lock tab
and continue until the lock tab engages in the locking hole. This leaves
the entire module protruding from the rack, locked in position,
supported by slides.
8) Press inward (toward the module) on each of the inner slide locks to
permit the intermediate slides to move toward the rack.
9) Slide the module in and out several times, ensuring that the inner and
outer slide locks engage, and that the module does not bind against the
slides.
