Installing the SN5428 Chassis
Rack-Mounting the SN 5428 Storage Router
You can rack-mount the SN5428 Stora ge Router chassis in a 19-inch equipment
rack with the front panel forward.
The accessory kit that is shipped with your storage ro uter contains two
L-brackets, six L-bracket screws, a cable guide (with mounting screw), and two
sets of rack-post screws. One set of rack-post screws consists of four 10-32 3/4”
screws; the other set consists of four 12-24 3/4” screws.
Note If your mounting-post holes cannot accommodate the rack-post screws shipped
with your storage router, you will need to supply other screws (and clips if
necessary) suitable for your equipment rack.
You need the following tools to install the storage router in a rack:
•Phillips screwdriver suitable for L-bracket screws and cable-guide screw
•Phillips screwdriver suitable for the rack-post screws
•Tape measure
To install the storage router in a rack, follow these steps:
Step1 Prepare for installation as follows:
a. Place the storage router on the floor or on a sturdy table as close as possible
to the rack. Leave enough clearance so that you can move around the storage
router.
b. Use a tape measure to measure the depth of the r ack. Measure from the
outside of the front mounting posts to the outside of the re ar mounting strip.
The depth must be at least 19inches (48.26 cm) but not more than 32 inches
(81.3 cm).
c. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left-front and right-front
mounting posts to ensure that the space is 17.75 inches (45.72 cm) wide.
Step2 Remove the front screw from each side of the chassis. (See Figure 2-1.) You may
discard the screws.
