Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following pro cedur e, re view and follow th e
safety instructions that came with the system.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Sol ut ion
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the s ystem by you rsel f.
WARNING : T h e system is not f i x ed to the rack or m o u n ted on the rails. To
avoid perso na l inju ry or dam age to the sy s tem, yo u mu st ad equ a tely
support the system during installation and removal.
WARNING : T o a vo id a potenti al electrical sh ock hazard, a third wire sa f ety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack
cooling.
CAUTION: When installing rails in a squa re-hol e ra ck it i s impor tant to
ensure that the square peg slides through the square holes.

Push on the latch release buttons on the midpoints of the end piece 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.
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 midpoints
of the end piece and unseat each rail.
