FXT 5000 Series Installation Guide
• Several connectors and ports are different from previous systems, and some are installed in a different
orientation than they were in other Avere Systems products.
Even if you have previously worked with Avere FXT systems, be sure to read the instructions here before attempting
to install an FXT 5000 Series filer.
4.2 Rack Installation
These instructions are for installing an FXT 5000 Series node in a square-hole, non-threaded, four-post server rack.
For any other type of installation, contact Avere Global Services.
The FXT 5000 Series ships with two snap-together outer rail assemblies. Inner rails are pre-installed on the sides of
the node chassis.
Installation steps include:
• Assembling the rails
• Attaching the rails to the server rack
• Sliding the FXT 5000 Series node into the rails in the rack
Read the detailed instructions below before beginning the process.
4.2.1 Tools
No tools are required to install the FXT 5000 Series node in a standard rack. However, if your rack is not pre-marked
with rack unit measurements, you might want the following tools for setting the rail height:
• A tape measure to find holes at the correct height on each corner of the rack where the rails should be installed
• A marker, grease pencil, or other means to mark the holes on the rack where the rails should be installed
4.2.2 Assembling the Rails
The left and right outer rails for the FXT 5000 Series are identical. Follow these instructions to assemble the slide
rails.
1. Find the four rail pieces included in the package with the node. There are two identical short pieces and two
identical long pieces.
2. Join the short and long rail pieces by latching the t-shaped fastener in the center of the short piece into the
keyhole slot in the center of the long piece:
(a) Locate the protruding circular T fastener (resembling a nail head) in the center channel of the shorter
piece.
(b) Position the short piece, fastener facing up, underneath the long piece. (The concave surfaces should nest
together.)
(c) Align the circular head of the fastener on the short piece with the circular hole on the long piece.
(d) Set the fastener inside the hole, and slide the shorter piece down the keyhole slot to latch the two
together.
Repeat this procedure for the second set of rails.
