Rails and cable management assembly
The rail kit is universal in that it supports all rack mounting hole types and sizes. Both the front and the rear ends of the rail kit
contain threaded posts that come with a cap installed. The cap fits square and round hole unthreaded racks. Large flat headed
M4 screws insert through the rail into the rail kit to secure the rail to the rack.
When installing rails, do not tighten the screws all the way until all the screws are in place. This assures that the screws are all
screwed in the same distance, and prevents one from skewing the others.
The rail kit includes two bracket assemblies, one marked for the left side and one marked for the right side of the rack.
A cable management assembly (CMA), for organization of cables at the rear of the system, is already installed onto the system
on a Data Domain rack. For field installed systems, the CMA is shipped with the system.
