2.4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the RMC 7152 into a rack. If the system has already been mounted into a
rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a
guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Basic Installation Procedure

You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the RMC 7152. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an
inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail brackets. A sliding
rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails must be
detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it 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. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this
for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the five screw holes line up.
Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure

2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets
when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the
server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the
server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you
pull it out for servicing.

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the RMC 7152 in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the
fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of
the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of
the rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

Installing the Server Into the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do
this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping
the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the RMC 7152 into a Telco type rack, follow the direc- tions given on the previous pages for rack installa­tion. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be
spaced apart just enough to accomodate the width of the telco rack.
