RES-32XR3/FIO Installation Manual
Dimensions of the screw-hole patterns on the sides of the RES-32XR3/FIO chassis
for installing rack-mount slides are shown in
Figure B-1 . Holes for steel slides are
marked “A” and holes for aluminum (Jonathan) slides are marked “B”.
The rack-mount slide installation kit includes the following items:
a. Two inside slide sections
b. Two outside slide sections
c. Two front (short) slide brackets
d. Two rear (long) slide brackets
e. Assorted screws, washers, and nuts
Follow these steps to install a steel rack-mount slide to the RES-32XR3/FIO chassis:
1. Attach the inside slide section (see Figure B-2 on page B-3) to both sides of
the RES-32XR3/FIO chassis using four #8-32 screws per side.
2. Measure the depth of the 19” equipment rack into which the RES-32XR3/FIO
system will be installed (this can vary from 24” to 30”).
3. Using the depth of the equipment rack, adjust and attach the front and rear
slide brackets to the outside slide section using the screws, washers, and nuts
provided with the slide kit.
4. With all slide brackets securely attached to both the right and left outside slide
sections, install both sections to the inside right and inside left of a 19” rack
with two bolts per bracket, making sure there is adequate room for the 3-RU
height (5.25”) of a RES-32XR3/FIO system.
5. Carefully insert the RES-32XR3/FIO system into the 19” rack so that the in-
side slides on both sides of the chassis travel smoothly into the channels of the
outside slide sections. Push the system into the rack until the mounting brack-
ets on the front of the chassis are flush with the front of the rack.
6. Secure the RES-32XR3/FIO system to the 19” rack with two bolts on each
side.
Caution: Any screws used to mount a slide to a RES-32 chassis must not exceed a
length of 3/8” to prevent excessive penetration of the chassis.
