Quick Installation in 3 easy steps
1. Cabinet Installation and Power Connection
a. Mount the shelf into the desired cabinet location. We recommend the sys admin/installer attach a unique
shelf number label to the front of the cabinet rail for easy storage unit identification. This shelf number will
be used by the sys admin in the first steps of configuration via the storage units console port once physical
installation is complete.
i. Included in the shipping package is a pair of rail assemblies. In each rail assembly, locate the inner rail
and the outer rail. Press the locking tab to release the inner rail from its locking position and pull out the
inner rail from the rail assembly. (*The inner rails are to be attached to the chassis and the outer rails are
to be installed in the rack.)
ii. Locate the five rail buttons on each side of the chassis and locate the five corresponding holes on each of
the inner rail. (*Please note that one end of the hole is larger than the other end of the hole.)
iii. Align the larger end of each hole against its corresponding button. Once all aligned, push the holes toward
their corresponding buttons and the rail is placed on the chassis. Once the rail is placed on the chassis,
pull the rail forward until the rail buttons lock in the small ends of the corresponding holes. Secure the rail
to the chassis with a screw provided. Repeat the above steps to install other rail on the chassis.
iv. After you have installed the inner rails on the chassis, you are ready to install the outer rails of rail
assemblies to the rack. (* The rails are designed to fit in the cabinets with the depth of 28" to 33".) Locate
a pair of front (-short) and rear (-long) brackets provided. Please note that the brackets are marked with
Up/Front Arrows (-front) and Up/Rear arrows (-rear). Secure the front (-short) bracket (marked with the
Up/Front arrows) to the outer rail with two screws provided.
