the inner rails attached to the storage enclosure from properly engaging the outer rails in the rack cabinet.

To mount the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet:
1. Confirm that the rack rails are properly assembled and securely installed correctly in the rack cabinet.
2. Confirm that the storage enclosure does not contain any drive modules.
3. Complete the following actions to position the lift and the storage enclosure:
a. Using proper safety precautions, position the storage enclosure on the lift perpendicular to the lift wheels.
b. Move the lift into position perpendicular to the rack cabinet so that the storage enclosure is parallel to the opening and
is a minimum of 5 to 7 inches (12.7cm to 17.78cm) away from the rack cabinet.
c. Adjust the lift height to be as close as possible to the allocated 4U location.
d. Moving only the storage enclosure, position it so the attached inner rails align with the mid rails in the rack.

4. Complete the following actions to prepare the rails to receive the storage enclosure:
WARNING!
Failure to properly seat the inner rail on the ball bearing retainers can cause integration failure and
immediate or gradual mechanical failure. Serious injury could result.
a. Facing the cabinet, verify that both the top and bottom ball bearing retainers are fully seated.
b. Slide both mid rail slides smoothly on the ball bearing retainers until they are fully forward and engage the inner leaf
spring on the mid rail nearest the front mount bracket.
