Using the supplied
screws
, secure the rail.
7.

Optional Steps for Thicker Rack Rails
For rack rails
thicker than 3mm
, the sliding rail anchors cannot be seated without
exerting excessive force and potentially damaging the sliding rail kit.The brackets
need to be removed from each end of the slide rails to make the anchors seat securely.
For standard rack rail sizes 3mm or less, skip this procedure and proceed to
“Attach
Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack.”
1.
Locate the
bracket
on the end of a slide rail.
2.
Remove the
screw
securing the bracket to the rail.
3.
Push the
bracket
toward the end of the rail, prying the back of the
bracket
upward to unseat and remove it.
4.
Repeat
Steps 1–3
for each
end
of both
rails
.
Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack
WARNING:
It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be
used to raise and align the unit to prevent injury during installation. Use care when
inserting or removing a unit into or out of a rack to prevent the accidental tipping of
the rack, causing damage or personal injury.
WARNUNG:
Um Verletzungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir zur Rack-Installation oder
-Deinstallation die Nutzung einer mechanischen Hebehilfe (oder mindestens zwei
Personen).
AVERTISSEMENT:
Afin d’éviter des blessures pendant l’installation, il est recommande
d’utiliser un monte-charge (ou au moins deux personnes) pour élever ou aligner
l’appareil. Faites attention lorsque vous insérez ou retirez l’appareil d’un support, pour
empêcher le déversement accidentel de la crémaillère causant des dommages et des
blessures.
1.
Position the front of one of the
rails
in line with the front vertical rail mounting
holes (1) and move it forward until the
rail anchors
are through the holes.
2.
Push the rail toward the
outside of the rack
(2) until the rail locks snap into
place.
3.
At the
rear
(3), slide the outer rail in or out to fit between the vertical rails (a) and
repeat
Steps 1–2
to secure it (b).
NOTE: Make sure the rear holes are the same height as the front holes so the rail is level.
4.
For the other
rail
, repeat
Steps 1–3
.
Install in Rack
1.
Using the mechanical lifter, position the
appliance
in front of the rack.
2.
Insert the
inner rails
into the
outer rails
and slide the unit into the rack.
3.
Using
four
of the
provided screws
, secure the SnapExpansion to the front of the
rack.
4.
Additional step for thicker rack rails:
Using the
two supplied screws
,
secure the
rear ends
of the slide rails
to the rack rails.
Step 3
The SnapExpansion may come with blank drive carriers installed (drives are sold
separately). As many as 12 disk drives can be installed with blank drive carriers filling
in the empty slots.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive assembly or a blank drive
carrier must be installed in
every
slot. No empty slots are allowed.
Install Drives
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.
Once the SnapExpansion is in the rack, install the drives as follows:
1.
Remove any
blank drive carriers
from the slots that will be used for drives.
2.
Starting at the top left, position a
drive assembly
in front of a
bay
.
3.
Slide the
carrier
in until it stops.
