Rack-Mounting 13
Installing the Appliance into a Rack
Follow the instructions in this section and the precautions laid out in the
previous sections above to install the StoneGate appliance into a rack.
Also, refer to the documentation that came with the rack.
The appliance package includes one pair of rack rail assemblies. Each
of these assemblies consist of two sections: the inner rail that secures
to the appliance and the outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack.
You must detach the inner rail before installing.
T
To detach the inner rails
1.
Pull the inner rail out as far as possible. You should hear a “click”
sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and
locks the inner rail.
2.
Depress the locking tab and pull the inner rail completely out.
3.
Repeat for the other side’s rack rail assembly.
Locking Tabs:
As you have seen, both rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions.
• To lock the appliance into place when installed and pushed fully into
the rack, which is its normal position.
• To lock the appliance in place when fully extended from the rack to
prevent the appliance from coming completely out of the rack when
you pull it out for servicing.
