Rack Installation

Before installing the disk drives, it is recommended that the unit first be secured in the rack.

WARNING: Use care during rack installation or removal to prevent accidental tipping of the rack causing damage or

personal injury.

AVERTISSEMENT: soyez prudent lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du support afin d'empêcher le

renversement accidentel de la crémaillère, pour éviter dommages et blessures.

The rail kit included with the S2000 is adaptable for installation in the two major types of hardware racks: squared-holed and round-holed EIA-310 racks.

NOTE: A two-post telco-style rack or any rack that is less than 29-inches in depth will not support this appliance. Also, for threaded-hole racks, Overland Storage recommends using a shelf.

The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left) and RH (right) and must be mounted on the appropriate side (when facing the rack front).

Attach Inner Rails to Chassis

This procedure is required for all rack types:

1.Mark the screw holes on the rack where the rails will be installed.

NOTE: Be sure rear holes are horizontally in line with the front holes to ensure the unit remains level.

2.Remove the inner rail (Figure 2) from the rail set:
