2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 2021M-32R into a rack unit. If the
2021M-32R has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections
2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the
system into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the instal-
lation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received a total of six rack rail sections with the 2021M-32R. Two
of these sections secure directly to the 2021M-32R and the third (which actually
consists of two joined sections) secures directly to the rack itself. All screws and
hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in the hardware
kit.
Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the
chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two
is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the 2021M-32R
making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c.
Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the side of the chassis
(see Figure 2-1, step 1). There should be two screws for each side. Repeat this
procedure for the other rail on the opposite side of the chassis. Then attach the
two rear chassis rails to the chassis in the same manner, again keeping in mind
that the rails are left/right specifi c. (You will also need to attach the rail brackets
when installng into a telco rack.)
Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also
lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
