Mount the enclosures in the rack

Rackmount rail kit
Rack mounting rails are available for use in 19-inch rack cabinets.
The rails have been designed and tested for the maximum enclosure weight. Multiple enclosures may be installed without loss of space in
the rack. Use of other mounting hardware may cause some loss of rack space. Contact Dell EMC to ensure that suitable mounting rails are
available for the rack you plan to use.
Install the ME484 JBOD
The ME484 JBOD is delivered without the disks installed.
NOTE:
Due to the weight of the enclosure, install it into the rack without DDICs installed, and remove the rear panel
CRUs to decrease the enclosure weight.
The adjustment range of the rail kit from the front post to the rear post is 660 mm–840 mm. This range suits a one-meter deep rack
within Rack Specification IEC 60297.
1. To facilitate access, remove the door from the rack.
2. Ensure that the preassembled rails are at their shortest length.
NOTE:
See the reference label on the rail.
3. Locate the rail location pins inside the front of the rack, and extend the length of the rail assembly to position the rear location pins.
Ensure that the pins are fully inserted in the square or round holes in the rack posts.
