Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review and follow the
safety instructions that came with the system.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately
support the system during installation and removal.
WARNING: To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire safety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack
equipment must provide sufficient airflow to the system to maintain proper
cooling.
CAUTION: When installing rails in a square-hole rack it is important to
ensure that the square peg slides through the square holes.

1
Push on the latch release buttons on the end piece midpoints to open
the rail latches. See Figure 1.
2
Align the end pieces of the rails on the vertical rack flanges to seat
the pegs in the bottom hole of the first U and the top hole of the
second U. See Figure 1.
NOTE:
The rails can be used in both square-hole (item 1 in the following figure)
and round-hole racks (item 2 in the following figure).
Figure 1 Pushing the Latch Release Buttons
NOTE:
To remove the rails, push on the latch release button on the end piece
midpoint and unseat each rail.

On each vertical rack flange on the back, put two screw bases into
the two square holes right above the rail. See Figure 3.
5
Install the chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) on the back
rack flanges. See Figure 3.
6
Simultaneously fasten the screws. See Figure 3.
NOTE:
To transport systems already installed in the rack, ensure that the two
chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) are in place.

Connecting the Power Cable(s)
Figure 6 Connecting the Power Cable
Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system and, if a monitor is used,
connect the monitor’s power cable to the monitor. Plug the other end of the
power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as
an uninterrupted power supply or a power distribution unit.
NOTE:
The power input: 110 V and 220 V.
