Installation into a 23-Inch Rack
"
Procedure
To install the chassis in a 23-inch rack:
1. Reverse both mounting brackets. To do this:
— Remove the screws that attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the
chassis.
You may want to use the disassembled mounting brackets as a guide for
determining the preferred placement of the chassis in the rack before
re-installing them to the chassis.
— Taking the bracket from the left side of the chassis, rotate it and place it
on the right side so that the longer side extends out.
— Do the same for the bracket from the right side of the chassis.
— Replace the screws.
2. Determine the preferred placement of the chassis in the rack. The chassis is
19.25 inches high and the keyhole slots are located approximately 4 inches
from the bottom of the chassis. Then, mark the appropriate locations for the
two lower machine screws on the rack. Use the screwdriver to install the two
screws loosely enough to allow the bracket keyholes to drop under the screw
heads during installation.
NOTE:
It is the recommended procedure to install the chassis starting at the
bottom of the rack.
