2.3 Installing the System Into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the system into a rack. There are a variety of
rack units on the market, meaning the procedure may dier slightly. Refer to the Enclosure
Template that was included with the system for help.
Rack Mounting Hardware
The following is a list of rack mounting hardware you will need for rack setup and installation:
• Two rail assemblies (one for each side of the enclosure)
• Two handles
• Four roundhead screws for fastening the enclosure ears to the rack
• Eight athead screws and washers for mounting the rails to the rack
Installation

Installing to a Rack
1. Decide where you want to place the system into the rack (see "Rack Mounting
Considerations" in the previous section).
