Chapter 2. Installing the hardware
After verifying that you have all of the hardware components that you require,
you can install them.
You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents and
becoming familiar with the hardware components. You have verified that the
power and environmental requirements are met and have planned the location of
the enclosures. You are now ready to begin installing the hardware components
and connecting the data cables and power cords.
Installing support rails for the control enclosure
Before you install the control enclosure, you must first install the support rails for
it.
Procedure
To install the support rails for the control enclosure, complete the following steps.
1. Locate the control enclosure rails (Figure 7). The rail assembly consists of two
rails that must be installed in the rack cabinet.
2. Install a spring on each rail.
a. Extend the rail to its full length.
b. Push one looped end of a spring over one stud on the inside of the rail.
(See Figure 8 on page 12.)
Note: Some models of rail have the studs on the outside of the rail.
c. Stretch the spring slightly and push the other looped end of the spring
onto the other stud on the inside of the rail.
