Setting Up the Matrix
Installing Optional Rack Support Brackets
Rack support brackets are shipped with the chassis to provide additional support underneath the chassis. Use of these brackets is recommended for installations with four‐post cabinets to augment standard rack support by the front ears on the chassis. To install the rack support brackets, proceed as follows:
Warning: If the rack is not secured to the floor, it is recommended that you install the chassis in the bottom half of the rack. This helps prevent the rack from being top heavy.
Advertencia: Si el rack no esta asegurado al piso, es recomendable que instales el chasis en la parte de abajo del rack. Esto ayuda a prevenir que el rack este demasiado pesado en la parte superior.
Warnhinweis: Falls das Rack nicht mit Schrauben am Boden gesichert wird, sollte das Chassis in der unteren Hälfte des Racks installiert werden, um ein kippen des Racks zu vermeiden.
Warning: Before
Advertencia: Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar su peso sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.
Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.
1.Keeping the above notes in mind, locate the position on the rack where you will install the brackets. The chassis requires 97.16 centimeters (38.25 inches) of vertical spacing.
2.Align the holes in one bracket with those in the rack, as shown in Figure 3‐5, then fasten it to the rack from the inside of the bracket using eight of the screws supplied with the rack.
3.Install the second bracket with eight more screws, attaching them from the inside of the rack, and proceed with optional mid‐mount bracketting below or “Rack Mounting the Matrix X16‐C Chassis” on page 3‐9.
