VX1411 MainFrame Instruction Manual
Use the following procedure to install the VX1411 Mainframe in the rack:
1. Identify the right and left slide-out track assemblies: find the date code label
on each assembly. The assembly to be mounted in the left side of the rack
(the side nearest the left side of the mainframe when it is mounted in the
rack) has a date code that ends with LH (for left hand). The right assembly
has a date code ending with RH.
2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the rack.
3. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 1–5.
Note that the rear bracket has two pairs of mount-through holes. When
aligning the bracket and the track, select a pair of holes that mount the rear
bracket so the flange-to-flange distance (see Figure 1–5) matches the front
rail to rear rail spacing that you just measured in step 2.
NOTE
. If necessary, refer to the rackmount kit instructions for detailed installa-
tion information.
4. Attach the rear bracket to the right slide-out track using two 10-32 screws
and a bar nut as shown in Figure 1–5. Leave the screws loose so that you can
adjust the overall length of the slide-out track assembly when installing the
mainframe in the rack.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.
