Section 1 Intro and Overview
3. Attach the rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the Aurora.
4. Mount the Aurora into the rack.
5. Connect the cables.
Decide on an appropriate location for the Galaxy Aurora . It is best if the unit
is kept away from heat or from where high electromagnetic fields that may
exist. If you are installing the unit into a rack, make sure the rack is in the
proper location prior to installation. Moving the Galaxy Aurora while it is
installed into the rack is not recommended.
The Galaxy Aurora , requires 4 rack units of vertical clearance (7 inches), and
a depth of 28 inches. It is recommended that you mount it in a rack which is at
least 30 inches deep.
Airflow for the unit comes in through right side and the front. Heat exhaust is
from the rear of the unit. It is important that airflow at the front or the rear not
be blocked.
The rack slides permit the unit to slide out of the front of the rack. There are
latches on the sides of the slides, and if you are planning on removing the unit
from the rack to service or transport it, sufficient clearance should be available
to allow you to activate the latches and unlatch the slides.
If the rack is on wheels, be sure to use the wheel locks when installing or
removing the Galaxy Aurora from the rack. If the rack does not have wheel
locks, place something against the wheels to prevent movement, or if your
rack is equipped with leveling jacks, extend the jacks to make sure the rack
stays level during installation. Always make sure the rack is completely
immobile before installing or removing any components. Never extend more
than one component from the rack at the same time.
There is a set of slides included with the Galaxy Aurora . The slides are
required for rack-mounting the unit, and the slides must be mounted with the
rear extensions installed into the rack. The weight of the unit is sufficient that if
this were not performed, damage would result to the unit, the slides, or the
rack if installed.
When installing the slides, loosely attach the rear end of the slide to the front
end, then screw the front and rear rack portions of the slides into the rack.
Finally, tighten the screws between the two ends. Repeat this process for the
other side. Once the slides are installed in the rack, slide the unit into the
slides. Slide extensions are included in case the rack is deeper.
