Mounting Astra ES in a Rack

The subsystem installs in the rack using the supplied mounting rails.

Cautions

•At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and attach the Astra ES enclosure into a rack system.

•Do not lift or move the Astra ES enclosure by the handles, power supplies or the controller units. Hold the enclosure itself.

•Do not install the Astra ES enclosure into a rack without rails to support the enclosure.

To install the Astra ES enclosure into a rack with the supplied mounting rails:

1.Check the fit of the mounting rails in your rack system.

2.Please note that the plates are already attached to each side of the chassis.

3.Confirm the screws are properly tightened for each of the 2 plates on the chassis.

4.Slide one of the rails over the plate on one side of the enclosure. The rail is designed to slide freely over the plate.

5.Attach a four-hole flange to the rail, with the flange toward the front (disk drive end) of the enclosure. Install four rail adjustment screws (included) through the flange into the rail.

6.Attach a two-hole flange to the rail, with the flange toward the back (connector end) of the enclosure. Install four rail adjustment screws (included) through the flange into the rail.

7.Repeat steps 4 through 6 to attach the other rail and flanges to the enclosure.

8.Place the enclosure with mounting rails into your rack system.

9.Attach the four-hole flanges to the inside of the rack’s front post, using the attaching screws from your rack system.

10.Attach the two-hole flanges to the inside of the rack’s rear post, using the attaching screws from your rack system.

11.Square the rails in the rack.

12.Tighten the adjustment screws and the attaching screws.
