Step 2
WARNING: This device has more than one power cord. Disconnect ALL power supply
cords before servicing.
Any optional internal components, need to be installed before continuing. Refer to the
installation instructions and warnings that are packaged with the components.
Step 3
The SnapScale comes with a sliding rail rack kit for easy installation into a 19-inch
(EIA-310) rack. There is a left (L) and right (R) rail. They are installed with the end
flanges pointing outward and the rail hooks opening downward.
IMPORTANT: Two-post telco-style or other racks less than 29 inches in depth will NOT
support this unit.
Attach the Inner Rail
1.
Take the
left (L) rail assembly
and slide the inner rail out until it stops.
2.
Press the
release latch
and remove the inner rail.
3.
Place an
inner rail
against the node’s left side (when facing the node), aligning
the screw holes with the latch release nearer the rear.

4.
Secure the rail using the three M3x4mm
screws
in the countersunk holes.

.
Size the Outer Rails to Rack
1.
Determine the 2U area where the SnapScale
is to be mounted, and mark the
third and
fifth holes
on both sides, front and back.
2.
Note the distance between the inside edges
of the rack’s
front and rear
rails.
3.
If installing the rails in a
round-holed
rack
, attach the adapters to both ends of the
left rail assembly:
NOTE: There are two sets of adapters. Each set consists of two mirror-imaged versions.
They are installed with the square holes on the bottom and the open sides facing inward.
a.
With the rail
hooks
facing down, insert them through the top and bottom
square holes of the adapter.
b.
Push the
adapter
up until it is fully engaged.
c.
With the
flat-head screw
inserted through the countersunk hole side of the
cup washer
, insert them in the hole between the hooks and tighten.
Be sure the cup washer goes into the square hole and is flush with the adapter.
4.
Loosen the
four nuts and screws
holding the rear slide component.
5.
Verify that the
length
of the slide rail is slightly less than the internal distance
measured between the rack’s vertical rails.
If necessary, remove the four nuts and screws holding the
rear component
, slide
it out the needed distance, and loosely reinstall them.
NOTE: For some racks, only two screws can be used with the rear component due to the
location of the slots. This does not impact the stability of the rails.

Attach Outer Rails
Depending on the type of rack, different methods of installation are used.
NOTE: The top hole of the rail is used by the node captive screw to secure the node.
Square-holed Racks
1.
Position the
left (L) slide rail
between the
left-side vertical rack rails with the flanges
inside
the rack and pointing outward.
2.
Insert the front flange
hooks
into the two
marked holes and press down.
3.
Extend the
rear component
and hook the
rear flange into the rack.

Threaded Round-holed Racks
Two sets of adapters are provided for threaded round-holed racks.
1.
At the front, screw
two pan-head screws
into the left marked rack holes until
their tips are flush with the inside edge of the rack rail.
2.

4.
Continue screwing in the
front screws
until
they secure the front flange.
5.
At the rear, continue screwing in the
rear
screws
until they secure the rear flange.
6.
Secure the rear component
nuts and screws
.

right-side rail
, repeat

This completes the installation of the rails. Continue now with
Non-threaded Round-holed Racks
Two sets of adapters are provided for non-threaded round-holed racks. The screws
securing the rails are loosely installed now and are secured when the unit is installed.
1.
Position the
left (L) slide rail
between the left-side vertical rack rails with the
middle rail toward the
inside
.
2.
At the front, loosely install
two screws
through the marked holes into the
adapter.
3.
At the rear, fully extend the rear component and loosely install
two screws
through the marked holes into the adapter.
4.

5.
On both rails, tighten the
nuts and screws
on the rear components.
This completes the installation of the rails. Continue now with
Install the Node
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.
1.
Slide out the
middle
slide rails on both sides.
2.
Using the mechanical lifter, position the
node
in front of the rack.
3.
Insert the node
inner rails
into the middle
rails and slide the node into the rack.
