Rack Installation
Before installing the disk drives, it is recommended that
the unit first be secured in the rack.
WARNING: Use care during rack installation or removal to
prevent accidental tipping of the rack causing damage or
personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: soyez prudent lors de l'installation ou
de l'enlèvement du support afin d'empêcher le
renversement accidentel de la crémaillère, pour éviter
dommages et blessures.
The rail kit included with the S2000 is adaptable for
installation in the two major types of hardware racks:
squared-holed and round-holed EIA-310 racks.
NOTE: A two-post telco-style rack or any rack that is less than
29-inches in depth will not support this appliance. Also, for
threaded-hole racks, Overland Storage recommends using a
shelf.
The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left)
and RH (right) and must be mounted on the appropriate
side (when facing the rack front).
Attach Inner Rails to Chassis
This procedure is required for all rack types:
1. Mark the screw holes on the rack where the rails will
be installed.
NOTE: Be sure rear holes are horizontally in line with the
front holes to ensure the unit remains level.
2. Remove the inner rail (Figure 2) from the rail set:
5. Fill in the information and click Submit.
Within three business days, you will receive an e-mail
from Overland with your warranty certificate. Follow the
instructions included to complete the process.

3. Attach the right inner member (Figure 4):
a. Position the rail against the inside of the rack front
rail with the hooks in line with the holes.
b. Insert the bracket front into the rack rail and
press down so that the hooks catch.
The spring-loaded tabs will extend into the hole to
prevent the rail from unhooking.
c. Slide the rear segment of the bracket rearward
until the hooks are in line with the correct holes.
d. Insert the bracket rear into the rack rail and press
down so that the hooks catch and the tabs lock.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the right slide rail assembly.
3. Verify that the rails are level and straight.
Continue with “Install the Unit in the Rack” on page 3.
Round-Holed Rack Installation
Before installing the rails onto a unthreaded round-holed
rack, the round-hole rail kit adaptors (Figure 6) must be
installed on the ends of the outer rails.
Figure 6. Round-Holed Rack Adaptors
1. Attach the adaptors (Figure 7) to both ends of the

rail:
a. Facing the chassis, position the rail against the
right side of the appliance with the locking tabs
going through the holes on the rail.
b. Slide the rail toward the front to lock it.
This may require some force as it is a tight fit.
c. Secure the rail with its Phillips screw.
4. Repeat Step 3 to install the left inner member.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your rack type, continue with
either the “Square-Holed Rack Installation” or “Round-
Holed Rack Installation.”
Figure 7. Attach the Adaptor to the Front
a. Position the adaptor stamped “A” at the front of the
left outer rail (end with the graphic label).
NOTE:
Square-Holed Rack Installation
1. Attach the left outer rail to the rack (Figure 5):
Make sure the stamp is at the top and the square
adaptor holes are aligned with the hooks on the outer rail.
b. Press the adaptor onto the hooks and slide it
upwards until it locks (clicks).
NOTE:
The rail buttons will snap into the square holes.
c. Repeat Steps a–b for the left rear adaptor
(stamped “B”).
2. Facing the rack, position the left rail in the rack,
aligning the adaptor holes with the front left rack
holes being used (Figure 8 on page 3).
