Rack Mount Installation Instructions
The Firebox M5600 rack mount system includes:
Rack rail kit
• 2 sliding rails
• 10 small screws and 8 large screws
Front ear bracket kit
• 2 front ear brackets
• 6 small screws and 2 large screws
Precautions
When you install the Firebox in a rack, consider these factors:
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If you install the Firebox in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Make sure the ambient temperature of
the rack environment is within the certified operating range specified in the Hardware Guide.
Reduced Air Flow
When you install the Firebox in a rack, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
When you mount the Firebox in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit Overloading
Make sure you connect the Firebox to the power supply circuit in such a way that there is no
overloading of the circuits, and no impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Grounding
Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is correctly grounded. For example, make sure you use
power strips instead of direct connections to the branch circuit.
CAUTION:
Do not use your slide/rail mounted Firebox as a shelf or work space.
Separate the inner rails from the outer rails
1. Pull out the inner rail as shown below.
2. Continue to slide the inner rail out until you hear a click.
3. Turn the rail over. Slide the white release tab on the inner rail away from the outer rail,
and pull the inner rail from the outer rail until they completely separate.
4. Repeat these steps to separate the second inner and outer rail.
Attach the inner rails and front ear brackets to the Firebox
1. Locate the ten short screws, and the front ear brackets and screws.
2. Use three of the screws provided with the front ear brackets to attach an ear bracket to the
front of the Firebox on one side.
3. Put the inner rail against one side of the Firebox with the small blue release tab toward the
front of the Firebox, facing out.
4. Align the screw holes in the rail with the five screw holes on the side of the Firebox.
The inner rail extends out from the back of the Firebox.
5. Attach the inner bracket to the chassis with five of the short screws provided in the rail kit.
6. Repeat these steps to attach the other inner rail and front ear bracket to the other side of
the Firebox.
