Installing the Archive Engine

4.Find the location pin at the rear end of the rail and use the Allen wrench to tighten it into the rear rack post. Extend the rail to fit between the front and rear rack posts. Make sure that the front and rear mount points are at the exact same height.

5.Secure the outer rails to the rack from the front and rear using the screws and washers provided. Repeat this step on the other side of the chassis.

For square hole racks, use the M5x12 flathead screw in combination with the ATX rail slide washer (square hole). These are items H and B.

For round hole racks, use the M5x12 flathead screw in combination with the ATX rail slide washer (round hole). These are items H and D.

For tapped hole racks, use the M5x12 pinhead screw in combination with the lock washers. These are items I and A.

Note: Screws should be left loose enough to allow rail sideways movement on its slots.

6. Tighten the clamping screws.

Mounting the Archive Engine in the Rack

After the outer rails are secured in the rack, the Archive Engine can be inserted into the rack.

To mount the Archive Engine:

1.Lift the Archive Engine and align it with the rack rails.

2.Carefully insert the Archive Engine slides into the rack rails and push until it is fully inserted.

3.Using the captive screws on the front of the Archive Engine, secure the server to the rack.

4.(Optional) PowerFile recommends that you unlatch and reseat the hard disk drives before powering on the Archive Engine. Use the provided torx screwdriver to unlock and lock the drives.

5.Attach the front bezel to the Archive Engine.
