Install the Rails and Mounting Hardware for the 10 EIA-Unit I/O
Drawer
Note: The anti-tilt rails must be installed in the EIA position directly above the sides of
the 10 EIA-unit I/O drawer, to prevent the drawer from tipping out of the rack unit
while in the service position.
CAUTION:
The stabilizer must be firmly attached to the bottom front of the rack to prevent
the rack from turning over when the drawers are pulled out of the rack. Do not
pull out or install any drawer or feature if the stabilizer is not attached to the
rack.
Note: Racks have EIA numbers that are visible from the rear and which go from 1 (at
the bottom) to 32 (at the top). The lowest EIA number completely occupied by a
drawer is said to be that drawer’s EIA position. Therefore, the rail surface that a
drawer sets upon is approximately in line with the lower edge of the EIA position
for that drawer. An EIA number is also used in identifying cables attached to that
drawer. The 10 EIA-unit I/O drawer occupies 10 EIA units. This procedure is for
installation in the topmost position in the rack unit.
1. Install one (1) nut clip on hole 8 from the top on each side at the front of the rack.
2. Install one (1) nut clip on hole 21 and another on hole 23 from the top on each side
at the rear of the rack.
3. From the rear of the rack, insert the two pins at the front of each rail into holes 26
and 28 from the top on each side of the rack.
4. Align the top nut clips at the rear of the rack with the top hole at the rear of each
rail. Install each rail to the rack, using four M5x14 hex-head screws that are
supplied with this unit.
5. Install the anti-tilt brackets in the uppermost position on each side of the rack so
that the M4x14 hex-head screws go through hole 1 and hole 4 of the rack
