Clip Nuts Installed in Rack
Note:
If you insert the clip nuts incorrectly, simply remove the nuts from the rack holes and
reinsert.
Position the rail's front and back mounting flanges so that through holes align with corresponding rack
holes, and note the locations.
Note:
Align the bottom of the rail with the bottom of the rack unit where you would like to install the
rails. Rails should not be installed where the rail will straddle rack units (U). Most racks provide
alignment markers indicating the rack units used for rail installation.
Attach two clip nuts at the front of the rack, and two at the rear, per the red "
X
" marks shown in the
following installation detail views (
Figure 13 below
).
Note:
The rail kit supports either the RAID (controller) or expansion chassis.
On the following diagram (representative rack only used for clip nut placement), elevation numbers are
arbitrary and represent vertical location within the rack. The 1U rack heights are shown next to clip nut
installation locations.
