Installation guidelines for rack mount enclosures
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information. Before installing your enclosure in arack cabinet, consider the following
guidelines:
vTwo or more people are required to install the device in arack cabinet.
vEnsure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
vDo not block any air vents, usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
vDo not leave open spaces above or below an installed enclosure in your rack
cabinet. To help prevent damage to enclosure components, always install ablank
filler panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
vPlan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vInstall the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vDo not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
vDo not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack
cabinet.
Use safe practices when lifting.
≥18 kg (39.7
lb)
≥32 kg (70.5
lb)
≥55 kg (121.2
lb)
Do not place any object on top of
rack-mounted devices.

5. Install both slide-rail assemblies in the rack cabinet:
a. Install ten clip nuts or ten cage nuts as required for your rack cabinet
(clip nuts for round-hole mounting flanges; cage nuts for square-hole
mounting flanges). Use the cage-nut-insertion tool or aflat-blade
screwdriver to install cage nuts.
b. Align the slide rails to the rack-mounting flanges (front and rear). If it is
necessary to adjust the length of the slide rails, loosen the nuts on the
rear of the rails; then, tighten the nuts.
c. Insert and tighten eight M5 screws to secure both slide-rail assemblies to
the rack cabinet.
Note: Use the top and bottom mounting holes to attach the slide-rail
assemblies to the rack-mounting flanges. The center mounting holes on
the front of the rack are used to secure the tape enclosure to the rack.
