102 Scalar 218FC Rack-Mount Installation
Installing the Scalar 218FC into the Rack
Warning
The Scalar 218FC weighs 60 pounds when it is equipped with two drives. Do
Not attempt to lift the Scalar by yourself. To avoid possible injury, and damage
to the equipment, always use two people to lift the Scalar.
❐
With your assistant, lift the Scalar 218FC up and slide the slides into the rails. The slides will
continue past the slide stops. It is not necessary to depress them when pushing the Scalar into the
rails.
Note
It may be necessary to slightly adjust the position of the plate/rail
subassembly on the rack uprights after you have installed the
Scalar 218FC.
To determine if you need to adjust the position, unlatch the
front panel lock, slide the Scalar 218FC in and out on the rails,
and listen for anything scraping.
If you hear scraping sounds, note which side they seem to be
coming from, then slightly loosen both screws on the front or
rear rail mounting flange on that side.
Again, slide the Scalar 218FC in and out, while continuing to
listen for scraping. If the scraping stops, tighten the screws and
recheck.
If necessary, try adjusting the mounting flange on the opposite
end of the rail.
