Device Placement Requirements
Device Placement Requirements
There are no restrictions on the location of the DS-16B2 switch in the
rack/cabinet.
Switches are typically located at the top of the rack/cabinet in pairs.
Power distribution must support the number of outlets required for
the switch and the switch power rating listed in the table on page 3.

DS-16B2 Rails Installation
There are two different length rails as shown in Figures 4 and 5: The
short rails range between 20.5 inches and 27 inches. The long rails
range between 27 inches and 34 inches. If your rail kit contains 2
different length rear rail mounts, be sure to use the rail length that is
appropriate for your rack/cabinet.

Installing the DS-16B2 Rails
Assembling the Rails If this is a new installation in an EMC CLARiiON rack, the rails are
pre-assembled. Follow these rail assembly instructions only if you are
installing the switch in a non-EMC rack/cabinet.
1. Place the front rail down on a table.
2. Lay the ac power cord just below the lip that runs along the top
edge of the front rail. Run the front end of the power cord behind
the front flange. Be sure to leave a little extra length (6 to 8 inches)
at the front end of the power cord. The length can be adjusted
once the switch is installed on the rails. See Figure 10.

3. Insert the slots of the rear adjustable rail onto the threaded posts
on the front rail. Be sure that the lip on the top of the rear
adjustable rail slides over the top of the slot on the front rail,
thereby capturing the ac power cord.
4. Secure the adjustable rail to the front rail with two #10 flat
washers and M5 keps nuts. Leave the keps nuts finger tight. See
Figure 11.

5. Determine where in the rack/cabinet you will locate the switch.
6. Adjust the length of the rail to fit between the channels in the
rack/cabinet.
7. Once the rails are adjusted to the correct length, tighten the keps
nuts on the rail assembly. See Figure 12.

If the side skins are removed on the rack/cabinet, the keps nuts can be
tightened after the rails have been installed.

Installing the DS-16B2 Rails
Round-Hole Channel Follow the steps below to install the rails assembly in the round-hole
channel of the rack/cabinet.
1. Align the holes of the front rail flange to the inside of the front
channel. The top and bottom screw holes are used for the screws;
the center screw hole is used for the ball stud.
2. Secure the rail to a round-hole channel with 2 M5 x 10-mm pan-
head screws (see table on page 8). Leave the screws finger-tight,
and tighten them after the switch is installed. See Figure 12.
3. Position the #10 flat washer and ball stud in the center hole,
between the two M5 x 10-mm screws. Hand-tighten the ball stud.
NOTE: The ball studs support the bezel.
4. Align the holes in the rear, U-shaped flange of the rail with the
holes in the rear inside channel.
5. Secure the rail to a round-hole channel with 2 M5 x 10-mm pan-
head screws (see table on page 8). Leave the screws finger-tight,
and tighten them after the switch is installed. See Figure 12.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the other rail.

Square-Hole Channel Follow the steps below to install the rails assembly in the square-hole
channel of the rack/cabinet.
1. Align the holes of the front rail flange to the inside of the front
channel. The top and bottom screw holes are used for the screws.
See Figure 14.
2. Secure the rail to a square-hole channel with 2 square- hole
washers and M5 x 16-mm flat-head screws (see table on page 8).
Leave the screws finger-tight, and tighten them after the switch is
installed.
3. Align the holes in the rear, U-shaped flange of the rail with the
holes in the rear inside channel, as shown in Figure 14.
4. Secure the rail to a square-hole channel with 2 square-hole
washers and M5 x 16-mm flat head screws (see table on page 8).
Leave the screws finger-tight, and tighten them after the switch is
installed.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other rail.
