Chapter 2 Setting Up and Maintaining the Multiservices Platform Series Device
Setting up a Multiservices Platform Series Device
Rack Mounting
This section describes how to install the Multiservices Platform Series device in a rack by using the
quick release mounting system. This system provides a quick, convenient, and secure method for rack
mounting the Multiservices Platform Series device.
The Multiservices Platform Series device includes two rail assemblies. One is designed for the left side
of the chassis and one is designed for the right side. Each rail assembly consists of an inner chassis rail
that attaches to the chassis, an outer rail that attaches to a rack, and a middle rail that extends from the
outer rail. Each inner rail includes a locking tab, which prevents the server from unintentionally coming
completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing or access.
Installing the Multiservices Platform Series device in a rack by using the quick release mounting system
involves these steps. The following sections describe each step in detail.
