Installing the 7031-D24 on the rail assembly

You might need to install the system on the rail assembly. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

Before installing the system on the rail assembly, ensure that the stabilizers are extended and the tip plate is attached to the bottom front of the rack to prevent the rack from falling forward when the rails are pulled out of the rack. Refer to Rack Safety Notices.

To install the system unit on the rail assembly, follow these steps:

If the bezel is installed on the front of the system, remove it by pressing in on the two release buttons.
Figure 1. Removing the bezel.
Using three people, lift the system unit and position it the over front of the rails.
Attention: Three people are required to safely lift the system. Using fewer than three people to lift the system can result in injury.
Push the system into the rack until it is completely installed into the rack.
If the securing plates are not preinstalled on the back of the system, attach the plates to the back left and back right of the system. The securing plates are illustrated in Figure 3.
Install the two M5 securing screws A through the chassis and into the nut clips B on the left and right rail.
Figure 2. Installing the securing screws.
At the back of the rack, install two M5 securing screws C through the back of both the left and right securing plates and into the rack rail.
