IBM TotalStorage Storage Switch
2006 Model L10 Fixed Rack-Mount Kit Instructions
IBM Corporation offers this optional, fixed rack-mount kit for the IBM TotalStorage®
Storage Switch 2006 Model L10. This kit includes the necessary hardware to install one
or two switches into any standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Caution: The fixed rack-mount kit is not designed to withstand the shock and vibration
forces that may result from shipping an installed rack-mount kit and switch unit(s) in an
equipment rack. IBM Corporation recommends installing the rack-mount kit and switch
unit(s) in an equipment rack at the designated location where the equipment rack will
reside. IBM Corporation is not responsible for any injury or damage that may result from
improper installation or unintended use of this rack-mount kit. If you want the Model L10
switch pre-installed, using the shippable shelf rack-mount kit, contact an IBM
Corporation sales representative.
Before installing the fixed rack-mount kit, review the Guidelines for Mounting Equipment
in a Rack section.
Guidelines for Mounting Equipment in a Rack
When installing IBM Corporation equipment in a rack, give careful consideration to the
following factors:
• The operating ambient temperature of rack-mounted equipment must not exceed the
maximum rated ambient temperature, which is indicated in the product installation
guide.
• The air flow clearances specified in the product installation guide must be maintained
within the rack.
• The AC supply circuit for rack-mounted equipment must be capable of supplying the
total current specified on all the labels of the rack-mounted equipment.
• All AC power supply connections must be properly grounded (earthed). To ensure the
integrity of the grounded connection, special attention must be given to connections
that are not directly connected to the branch circuit (for example, power strips).
• The rack-mounting hardware provided for IBM Corporation equipment has been
carefully selected to adequately support the equipment. Any alternate rack-mounting
hardware must provide equal or superior support.
• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet. Install the
heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

Installation Instructions
Follow these instructions to install a Model L10 switch into a rack.
1. Unpack the Model L10 switch’s fixed rack-mount kit and verify that all ordered parts
are present. See Table 1 for a list of parts and the quantities supplied.
If any components are missing, contact a customer service representative
immediately. (Parts and are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.)
Note: The rack-mount tray must be mounted using the 5/8-inch gap intervals. The
tray assembly will not mount properly using the 1/2-inch interval. At least 1U of
vertical space is necessary to accommodate the rack-mount tray assembly.

2. Install the appropriate nuts, depending on the equipment rack’s holes, inside the
equipment rack’s rails at the appropriate height (see Figure 1).
– If the equipment rack uses round holes, install all 12 clip nuts .
– If the equipment rack uses square holes, install all 12 caged nuts .
3. Install the rear mounting rails in the equipment rack (see Figure 1).
Note: IBM Corporation recommends following these installation instructions for the
rear mounting rails, especially if the installation is performed by a single
individual.
a. Align the rear mounting rail in front of (or outside) the equipment rack’s rear rail.
b. Attach the rear mounting rail to the equipment rack’s rear rail using two hex
screws . Insert the screws in the top and bottom holes – leave the center hole
open for now.
Attention: Do not fully tighten the rear mounting rail’s hex screws at this time.
Final adjustments will be required once the rack-mount tray assembly is installed
in the equipment rack.
c. Repeat steps 3a and 3b for the remaining rear mounting rail.
4. Mount the rack-mount tray assembly in the equipment rack (see Figure 1).
a. Align the rack-mount tray assembly with the installed rear mounting rails.
b. Slowly insert the tray assembly into the equipment rack and the rear mounting
rails.
c. Ensure that the front mounting rails insert properly into the rear mounting rails.
The rear mounting rail should fit between the curved metal lips on the front
mounting rail.
d. Adjust the tray assembly to fit in the desired location.
e. Align the front mounting rail in front of (or outside) the equipment rack’s rail.
f. Attach the front mounting rail to the equipment rack’s front rail using two hex
screws . Insert the screws in the top and bottom holes – leave the center hole
open for now.
Attention: Do not fully tighten the front mounting rail’s hex screws at this time.
g. Repeat steps 4e and 4f for the remaining front mounting rail.
h. Once both front mounting rails are installed, make adjustments to the tray
assembly as necessary for proper alignment in the equipment rack.
i. When the adjustments are complete, securely tighten the top and bottom hex
screws for the front and rear mounting rails.

port end aligns with the metal tab at the front of the tray. There are two metal tabs
available – one for each switch.
b. Align the metal tab with the slot in the switch’s port end and continue sliding the
switch into the tray until the metal tab is inserted in the slot.
c. Insert the stop bracket’s metal tab into the slot on the outer side of the switch.
d. Pivot the stop bracket until the stop bracket lays flat against the equipment rack’s
front rail (see Figure 2).
e. Align the stop bracket with the center hole in the equipment rack’s front rail.
f. Attach the stop bracket to the equipment rack’s front rail using one hex screw .
g. If you are installing two switches into the tray, repeat steps 5a through 5e for the
remaining switch.

6. Install the cover panel (see Figure 3).
a. Align the cover panel’s mounting holes with the empty center holes in the
equipment rack’s rear rails.
b. Securely fasten the cover panel to the equipment rack’s rear rails using one hex
screw for each side. The cover panel will conceal the tray assembly’s top and
bottom hex screws in both of the equipment rack’s rails.
7. Provide power to the switch.
a. Insert the included power cord into the Model L10 switch and connect it to a power
outlet.
