1. Shut down HostEngine normally.
2. Disconnect all data and power cables.
3. Remove the two slide mounts—one slide mount
from each side of the HostEngine enclosure. To
release each slide mount, slide it toward the rear of
the enclosure until it stops. Press the catch to
release and remove the slide mount as you can see
in the image at the right.
4. Mount the HostEngine mounting brackets and slide mounts in your cabinet. Allow vertical
space for 2U or 4U as appropriate for your enclosure.
5. Mount the front and rear mounting brackets in the
left side of your cabinet. Make sure all four line up
so that HostEngine is level within the cabinet. See
the image at the right.
6. Mount each of the two sliders into the front and rear
mounting brackets (Part # S18500A) and slider
assembly with the bolts and G-nuts provided in the
packaging. Use the Philips #2 screwdriver and the
3/8” wrench or socket to secure snugly but not
tightly each slider to the front and rear mounting brackets. Check to make sure the mounting
brackets and slide rails are level from front to rear before tightening the screws and nuts.
Align the front of the slider with the front of the cabinet.
7. Repeat the process for the other two front and two rear mounting brackets and slider
assembly on the right side of the cabinet.
8. Check to make sure that the slide rails are level,
both from front to back and from right to left. Once
you’re sure the slide rails are level, you’re ready
to tighten the mounting screws. See the image at
the right.
9. Tightly secure the screws holding the sliders to
the front and two rear mounting brackets on each side of the cabinet.
10. Extend the slide rails almost all the way out the front of the cabinet.
11. Lift the HostEngine, line it up carefully and slide it into place. Before lifting the HostEngine
into place, ask for assistance.
12. Try sliding the HostEngine in and out slightly to make sure it moves freely.
13. Connect the AC power cords into the HostEngine rear receptacle.
14. Connect the PCIe x16 external cables to GPU-Xpander Rack Mount 8.
15. Power up HostEngine.
