Rack-Mounting
Installing the Appliance into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the StoneGate appliance
into a rack unit. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the
assembly procedure may differ slightly from what is instructed. Refer to
the instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Installing the Appliance into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the appliance into a Telco type rack, follow the
general directions below. The main difference in the installation
procedure is the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. Space
them apart just enough to accommodate the width of the Telco rack.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You have received two rack rail assemblies with the appliance. Each of
these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed rail that
secures to the appliance and an outer fixed rack rail that secures
directly to the rack itself. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the
two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail. (See
Illustration 3
.)
The inner and outer rails must be detached from each other to install.

Illustration 3 Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
1. Pull the inner rail out as far as possible. You should hear a "click"
sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and
locks the inner rail.
2. Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out.
3. Repeat for the other side’s rack rail assembly.
