remove the two APCs to further reduce the weight, if
required. See the Adaptec Storage Enclosure Installation and
User’s Guide on the CD for instructions.)
Caution: To prevent personal injury, have someone assist you
!
during rack installation.
Caution: If you are installing your enclosure in a rack, prevent

in a rack that has been properly secured in an area with
suitable environmental conditions.

Installing into an Equipment Rack
Begin the installation by removing the components from the
packaging and placing them on an antistatic surface until you need
them.
Ensure that you have all these rail kit components:
■ Front rails (1 left, 1 right)
■ Rear rails, two different sizes (2 left, 2 right)
■ Two sizes of screws (10 large, 4 small)
■ Two types of nuts (10 of each)
To install your Storage Enclosure in an equipment rack:
1 Secure the front rails to the front supports of the rack, using the
supplied screws, as shown below.
Note: Use either the speednuts or cagenuts provided if
your rack does not have threaded holes.
2 Check the length between the front and rear supports of your
equipment rack and determine which set of rear rails to use, the
long or the short.
