Figure 2-1. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails:

Determine where you want to place the AS2041M-32R+/2041M-T2R+ in the rack.

(See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the ﬁ xed rack rail/slid-

ing rail guide assemblies (made up of two inter-locking sections) at the desired

location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack and

the rollers toward the front of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack.

Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure both are at

the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
