3 M-Series Rail Kit Assembly
3.1 Separate Cabinet Rails from Rack Rails
Each rack rail includes an inner cabinet rail that you must remove. Extend the cabinet rail as shown below until the
white release tab is exposed. Slide the white release tab to the right to release the cabinet rail. Remove the cabinet
rail from the rack rail. Repeat the process for the second rail.
The cabinet rails mount on each side of the system. Align the cabinet rail keyholes with the posts on the side of the
chassis. Slide the rail towards the system’s rear until the metal tab clicks and secures them in place. Fasten the rail
to the system with three M4x3.2mm screws. Repeat this process on the other side.
3.2 Mount Cabinet Rails
The rack rails are installed in the bottom 2U of the total 4U of reserved rack space.
The inner rack rail must be unlocked and retracted before installing the rail in the rack. Rotate the release lever on
the back of the inner rail clockwise as shown on the arrow label (
1
). Push the inner rail towards the back of the rail
assembly until it stops (
2
).
3.3 Mount the Rack Rails
At a minimum, an M-Series requires 4U of space in an EIA-310 compliant rack that is 27” (686mm) deep, frame to
frame. You will need to space the vertical rack posts between 26” (660.4mm) and 36” (914.4mm) apart to install the
rails properly.
You will need a Philips head screwdriver to attach the rails and secure the system to a rack. A measuring tape and a
level may be helpful when racking the system.
