Installation Instructions This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or more systems in an open-frame relay rack or in a rack cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed without tools in manufacturer's rack cabinets that have square holes; the VersaRails™ rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets that have square or round holes. The procedures for installing both RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system installed in the rack. CAUTION: Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use only the rack kit for your system. Using the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal injury. The VersaRails rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets. NOTICE: The VersaRails rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a rack that meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each system that is installed in a rack. Before You Begin Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "Safety Instructions," found earlier in this guide, as well as the safety instructions found in your Product Information Guide for additional information. CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system. CAUTION: Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters. The cabinet has no brakes. Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet. Retract the leveling feet when relocating the rack cabinet. Avoid long or steep inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the leveling feet for support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling. Important Safety Information Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in the rack. CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury to yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are installed high up in the rack. Rack Stabilizer Feet CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack. 6 Rack Installation Guide
