2.3 Installing the Rails
This section provides information on installing the SC213 chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the
assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer
to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note:
This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 59" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly
consists of two sections: a fixed inner chassis rail that secures directly to the chassis, and an
outer rack rail that secures to the rack (Figure 2-1).

Warning:
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
