Rackmount installation procedure This section provides information on installing the AB7000 into a rack. There are a variety of rack units on the market, meaning the procedure may differ slightly. Refer to the Enclosure Template that was included with the system for help. Rack Mounting Hardware The following is a list of rack mounting hardware you will need for rack setup and installation: • Two rail assemblies (one for each side of the enclosure) • Two handles • Four roundhead screws for fastening the enclosure ears to the rack • Eight flathead screws and washers for mounting the rails to the rack Installation Use the procedure below for installing an enclosure in a rack. Installing an enclosure: 1. Decide where you want to place the blade enclosure into the rack. 2. Position the Enclosure Template at the front of the enclosure to determine the locations of the screws for the enclosure rails. 3. The two enclosure rail sections are screwed together to keep them immobile during shipping. Release these screws just enough to allow the rails to slide apart. Note the arrow on the rail, which indicates the end that attaches to the front of the rack. 4. Slide the rails apart far enough to match the depth of the rack. Position the rails with the template and secure the front of each to the front of the rack with two flathead screws, then secure the back of each rail to the rear of the rack with two flathead screws. Note that the rails are left/right specific and very heavy. 52 Chapter 6
