2.8 Rack/Cabinet Installation

The subsystem is designed to fit into a variety of 19-inch rack cabinets or racks. Make sure you have an appropriate site location and cables prepared with adequate lengths to connect to mains and other devices.

The subsystem should be installed in the rack or cabinet before the hard drives and the drive trays are installed. If the drive trays with the associated hard drives are installed, the subsystem will be too heavy to mount into a rack or cabinet. When installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet it is advisable that two (2) people assist in the mounting process.

For details on the use of the rackmount rails, please refer to the installation instructions that came with them.
