Apple NMB-003 manual Adjust the mounting

5Fit the assembled pieces into the rack so that the extender’s lip is near the rear rail and the lip of bracket A points toward the outer edge of the rack at the front rail.

Adjust the mounting

bracket assemblies to fit the rack. The flanges at both ends should be on the outside of the rack posts.

The orientation of bracket A determines on which side of the rack it belongs. The lower part of this L-shaped bracket faces inward (to support the system). The posts on the upper part of the bracket face outward, and the extender is on the outside of the bracket. (In the illustration, bracket A1 goes on the left as you face the rack; A2 goes on the right of the system.)

6Hold one of the A brackets against one rail on the front of the rack at the position you marked, then place the metal template over the post on the front of the bracket.

7Have the other person hold the second A bracket at the position marked on the other front rail and place the metal template over the post on the front of the second bracket.

Important The brackets must be attached to the rails at a 90-degree angle to ensure that the Xserve RAID system is mounted securely. Use the template to guide you in attaching the brackets correctly.
