GRF 400/1600 Getting Started - 1.4 Update 2
Rack Mount and Power On Procedures
Rack mounting the GRF 1600
Rack-mounting procedure
ALWAYS stack the rack from the bottom up to ensure a stable and safe rack.
!
Caution:
Because of its weight, installing the GRF 1600 into a rack requires a
two-person team.
Vorsicht
: Aufgrund seines Gewichts sind zur Installation des GRF 1600 auf dem Regal zwei
Personen erforderlich.
You need two people to safely maneuver the GRF 1600 into a standard 19” rack. First, make
sure the rack will not roll or otherwise move. One person should stand on each side of the
chassis. Use the handholds on the chassis side to carry the weight of the unit.
This stick figure drawing illustrates how to support the chassis as you insert it.
–
Both people use the handholds to carry most of the weight.
–
The person on the left keeps their other hand under the front of the chassis, supporting
the weight and making sure it doesn’t tip down.
–
The person on the right has their other hand on the top of the unit, keeping the unit
properly balanced.
Figure 3-8. Diagram of proper way to move GRF 1600 into rack
To start, position the lower edges of the chassis on the side rails. Slide the chassis in until the
hands using the handholds are at the rack support with the side rails supporting the GRF
weight. Let go of the handholds, push the chassis in three or four inches till the handholds are
past the rack supports, then use the handholds as necessary to push the chassis all the way in.
What to do next...
If you have media cards that are not inserted in the GRF, insert them now. Go on to the next
section, “Inserting a media card.”
With the chassis securely in place and media cards inserted, the next step is to attach a terminal
to the GRF. Go to the section “Attaching a VT-100 terminal.”
