You might need to install an expansion unit into a rack.
In addition to information intended to promote safety and reliable
operation, illustrations of the related hardware components are also
provided and show how these components relate to each other.
To install the expansion unit into a rack, complete the
following steps:
Attention: This expansion unit weighs
in excess of 100 pounds (45 kg). A minimum of three people are required
to lift the unit and install it on the rails.
- Slide the cover attachment (G) under
the three clips (H) to attach the cover attachment
to the cover (F).
Figure 1. Installing the cover attachment to the cover
- Using four screws (A), install the
rail-mounting guides (B) to the left and right
side of the expansion unit chassis.
Figure 2. Attaching the rail-mounting guides
- Extend the rails from the rack until they lock into place.
- Using at least three people, lift the expansion unit onto
the rails. The rail guides (B) go over the
rails.
- Align the mounting holes on the chassis with their corresponding
holes on the rail.
- Install the six screws (C) through
the rails and secure the screws to the expansion unit chassis.
Figure 3. Installing
the expansion unit onto the rails
- Remove the four screws (A) securing
the rail-mounting guides (B) to the expansion
unit and remove the rail mounting guides.
Figure 4. Removing the rail-mounting guides
- Slide the system approximately three-quarters of the way
into the rack so that you can access the back of the system from the
back of the rack.
- Attach one end of the cable-management arm to
the back of the rack with two screws (D). Attach
the other end of the arm to the back of the expansion unit with the
two blue press fasteners (E).
Figure 5. Attaching the cable-management arm
- Go to the front of the rack and extend the rails
from the rack until they lock into place.
- Use two screws (A) to
secure the left and right rails in the rack.
Figure 6. Secure the rails
- Slide the expansion unit into and out of the rack slowly
to ensure that the expansion unit can slide freely on the rails. If
the expansion unit cannot slide freely on the rails, then slide the
expansion unit towards the front of the rack. Then loosen the six
screws (C) an eighth of a turn, and then slide
the expansion unit into and out of the rack slowly until the expansion
unit slides freely on the rails. Slide the expansion unit out toward
the front and retighten the six screws (C).
- Slide the expansion unit completely into the rack.
Figure 7. Sliding the expansion
unit into the rack
- If the system will be transported, install the two securing
screws though the front of the expansion unit and into the securing
screw mounts.
