Task 4: Mounting the Subsystem in a Rack

Task 4: Mounting the Subsystem in a Rack
The VTrak subsystem installs into your rack using the supplied mounting rails.
You can also use your existing rails.
Cautions
•
At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and
attach the VTrak unit into a rack system.
•
Do not lift or move the VTrak unit by the handles, power
supplies or the controller units. Hold the subsystem itself.
•
Do not install the VTrak unit into a rack without rails to support
the subsystem.
•
Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation
procedure should mount and install the VTrak unit.
•
Be sure all switches are OFF before installing the VTrak unit
or exchanging components.
•
Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and
flange nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.
•
Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as
instructed.
•
The rails that ship with the PROMISE VTrak unit are designed
to safely support that PROMISE VTrak unit when properly
installed. Additional loading on the rails is at the customer’s
risk.
•
PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the
mounting rails will support your PROMISE VTrak unit unless
you install them as instructed.
Note
To lighten the VTrak enclosure, remove the power supplies.
Replace the power supplies after the VTrak unit is mounted in your
rack.
