Installing the Archive Engine

Installing the Archive Engine (Generation 1)

The rails are shipped together, with the inner rail located inside the outer rail.You’ll need to separate the two rails and then attach the inner rails and latches to the Archive Engine prior to mounting the device into the rack. The rails are attached with the screws provided in the shipping box.

The rack must be assembled with the left and right chassis components correctly oriented. In this assembly, the “left” and “right” correspond to the left and right sides of a person facing the rack assembly.

The rail assembly is designed to prevent the Archive Engine from being removed completely; however, the rack will allow access to the fan tray. If the device must be completely removed, you must rotate the right side chassis latch up and the left side chassis latch down. You will then be able to remove the device.

Note: An Allen wrench and Torx screwdriver are provided for installation; however, you will need to provide a Phillips head screwdriver.
