Chapter 4. Installing the hardware
You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents and
becoming familiar with the hardware components. You have verified that the
power 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 the support rails
Follow this procedure to install support rails for the enclosure in the rack cabinet.
About this task
To install the support rails, do the following steps:
1. Locate the rack mounting rails and screws.
The rail assembly is made up of two sets of rails. One set of rails is already
installed, or preinstalled, on the sides of the enclosures. The other set of rails
must be installed in the rack cabinet. The rails on the sides of the enclosures
slide into the rails that are installed in the rack cabinet.
2. Working at the front of the rack cabinet, identify the two standard rack units
of space in the rack into which you want to install the support rails.
Figure 4 shows two rack units with the front mounting holes identified.
