Chapter3 Installing the AVS 3180
Installing Your AVS 3180
The AVS 3180 can be installed in a system 1U rack. Figure3-1 illustrates the four-post rack rail
components.
Figure3-1 Rack Rail Components
The procedure to install the AVS 3180 into a four-post rack is divided into two parts:
•Attaching the Telescopic Rails to the Rack Assembly
•Inserting the AVS 3180 into the Rack
To install the AVS 3180 in a four-post rack by using a two-post rack bracket, see the “Attaching a
Two-Post Rack Bracket to the AVS 3180” section on page3-9.
Attaching the Telescopic Rails to the Rack Assembly
To attach the telescopic rails to the four-post rack assembly, follow these steps:
1. Extend the rail (1) as far as it will go, as shown in Figure3-2.
2. Press the green spring plate (2) on the extended telescopic rail, and remove the inner rail. Set the
rail aside for attachment to the AVS 3180. (See the “Inserting the AVS 3180 into the Rack” section
on page 3-9.)
