Installing the SCE 2000 Platform

Mounting the System to the Rack

When the appropriate mounting brackets are securely installed, the SCE 2000 can be installed into the rack.

To mount the SCE 2000 to the rack after the brackets are installed, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Step 2 Position the SCE 2000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 3 Slide the SCE 2000 into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front of the SCE 2000) meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

A rack with both front and back posts will have the crossrail supports installed. Slide the SCE 2000 onto these crossrails and push it all the way back.

Step 4 While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip.

Step 5 For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack.
