To install the VessJBOD unit into a rack with the available mounting rails:
1.
Check the fit of the mounting rails in your rack system.

The rear rail slides inside the front rail. The rail halves are riveted together
and use no adjustment screws.

the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system.
Be sure the front rail support is on the bottom facing inward.
The alignment pins fit into the rack holes above and below the attaching
screws.
Use the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the
screws and flange nuts according to your rack system instructions.
4.
Place the VessJBOD unit onto the rails.
5.
Secure the VessJBOD unit to the rack.
One screw each side, in the upper hole only. Use the attaching screws and
flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the screws and flange nuts
according to your rack system instructions.
