Attaching fixed rails to the rack
Learn how to install fixed rails to the rack
Before you begin
If your rack has square holes, you must install the conversion kit that was provided with fixed rails.
About this task
Note: The system requires 2 EIA rack units (2U) of space.
Procedure
1. Select the appropriate EIA location unit number for fixed rails. Each EIA location contains three holes
for mounting hardware.
2. Install the pins onto the front or rear EIA support flanges, at the appropriate locations. The pins are
used to secure the system to the rack.
3. Attach a spring to the outside of each fixed rail.
a. Attach the circle end of the spring around the stud on the rail.
b. Pulling on the spring, attach the hook end of the spring to the tab on the rail.
4. At the rear of the rack, align the bottom of the right rail with the bottom hole of the EIA unit selected,
in the rear of the rack. The large locator pins fit into holes of the EIA location that is directly above the
lowest EIA unit used.
5. At the front of the rack, align the locator pins into the holes of the EIA location directly above the
lowest EIA unit used.
6. Install the spacer bracket between rear rail and the rack hole.
7. Repeat steps “1” on page 4 through “6” on page 4 for the left rail.
8. Secure both rails to the front EIA support flange by using two M5 x 16 mm screws. Install the screws
through the pins that you attached.
9. Secure both rails to the rear EIA support flanges by using four M5 x 16 mm screws. Install the screws
through the pins that you attached.
