Setting Up the System 2-5
Assembly
The following subsection describes how to assemble your rack-mount BSU into
a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet.
!
CAUTION
Ensure that the location of the rack-mount BSU does not
create an unstable condition when installed in the rack
cabinet.
Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the
rack-mount BSU. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the
bottom of the rack cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more
than 75% filled with components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit.
Note: When planning your system configuration for the
rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables
that interconnect system components.
Preparing the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies
1. Locate the two rack mounting bracket assemblies. Each rack-mounting
bracket consists of an outer bracket and an inner bracket (see Figure 2-1).
The rack mounting bracket also has a slide rail assembly attached to its inner
bracket consisting of an extension rail assembly with a center slide bar. The
rack mounting bracket with the outer bracket and inner bracket are the parts
of the assembly that attach to the rack cabinet. The center slide bar attaches
to the side of the BSU. The rack mounting bracket assembly ships as an
assembled unit, so you must remove the center slide bar from the assembly
before attaching to the side of the BSU.
