Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the
direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take
special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines
are provided to ensure your safety:
•
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
•
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top
with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
•
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
2.3 Installing the Rails
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly
procedure.
The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting
hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
specific rack you are using.
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly
consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to the chassis, an outer
rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends from the outer rail (see Figure
2-1). These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side of the chassis.
NOTE:
This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
