Mounting to Rack Rails

To mount the device to equipment rack rails:

1.Attach the rails to each side of the chassis with the bracket screws. Make sure the hinged brackets are at the back of the device. Make sure the rails are positioned so they reach the back of the rack when the device is mounted.

2.Rotate the hinges on both rails so that they allow the device to slide into the rack.

3.With another person, slide the chassis and rails into the rack.

CAUTION: Be sure to leave at least two inches of clearance on the sides of each chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports.

4.Secure the front brackets to the rack.

5.Rotate the rear brackets so they prevent the device from sliding forward.

6.Secure the rear brackets to the rack.
