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.

A – Inner bracket

B – Outer bracket

C – Extension rail assembly

D – Extension rail assembly safety latch

E – Center slide bar safety latch

F – Center slide bar
