VIAVI Rail Kit
This rail kit is for the 60G appliances and JBODs.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be a
clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet is required.
How to attach the rails
Rail assemblies must be attached to the chassis and rack before inserting the system into your
rack.
Prerequisite(s):
The box your chassis was shipped in should include:
♦
two sets of rail assemblies
♦
two rail mounting brackets
♦
mounting screws and washers to mount the system into the rack
This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Caution:
Do not use a two post "telco" type rack.
1.
Identify the inner rack rails.
The chassis package includes one pair of rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: an inner rail that secures directly to the chassis, an
outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends from the outer rail.
These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side of the chassis and are
labeled.
Figure 8: Rail kit diagram
Both the front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two
functions. First, it locks the sever into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack
(its normal operating position). In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack
when pulled out for servicing.
