2 Preparing for Setup
NDX NAS 1U Rack Installation Guide
Preparing for Setup
The rail kit (CSE-PT52L) ships in a box that should include the following:
• Two sets of rail assemblies
• Six rail mounting brackets
• Mounting screws—needed to install the system into most standard racks
Note: To install the rails, you will need a Phillips screwdriver.
Due to the variability in rack types, you may need to use the mounting hardware that
came with your rack or you may need to contact your rack vendor to procure additional
mounting hardware.
Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in
the sections that follow.
Precautions
Review the following precautions prior to setup.
Caution: Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or work space.
Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may
cause the rack to become unstable.
General Precautions • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the servers and
switches from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in
case of a power failure.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components closed when not
servicing to maintain proper cooling.
• Disconnect all power cords before servicing.

Rack Mounting
Instructions
This section provides information on installing the NDX NAS 1U server into a rack with
the CSE-PT52L rail kit. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identifying the Sections
of the Rack Rails
The CSE-PT52L rail kit package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: a fixed inner rail that secures directly to the side
of the NDX 1U NAS server, and a fixed outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

NDX NAS 1U Rack Installation Guide
Installing the Inner Rails
on the NDX 1U NAS
Server
1Place one of the inner rails on one side of the NDX 1U NAS server aligning the hooks
on the side of the NDX 1U NAS server with the mounting holes in the rail. Make sure
the inner rail faces outward, as illustrated.
Note: The front inner rail is pre-installed on the NDX 1U NAS server.
2Slide the inner rail forward so that the rail fits securely into the 4 hooks on the side
of the NDX NAS 1U Rack server.
3Secure the inner rail to the NDX NAS 1U Rack server with one screw as illustrated in
Figure 6.
4Repeat steps 1-2 for the remaining inner rail.
Figure 6 Inner Rail Installation
Installing the Outer
Rails on the Rack
1Attach the shorter outer rail to the outside of the longer outer rail. You must seat
the pin on the rear outer rail with the slide opening in front outer rail. Also, both
bracket ends must face the same direction.
2Adjust both the shorter and longer brackets to the proper length so that the rail fits
snugly into the rack.
3Secure the long rail to the front side of the rack with two M5 screws, top and
bottom holes and the short rail to the rear side of the rack with two M5 screws.
4If the rack does not have threaded holes, install a clip nut or a cage nut in the back
side of the rail and use the cage nut/clip nut screws to secure the unit into the rack
(see Figure 7 below)
5Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.

Installing the NDX 1U
NAS Server into a Rack
1Confirm that inner rails have been secured to the NDX 1U NAS server.
2Confirm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
3Align the ends of the inner rails on the NDX 1U NAS SERVER with the front of the
outer rails on the rack.
4Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you
may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the NDX 1U NAS server
has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs click
into the locked position.

Installing the NDX 1U
NAS Server into a Telco
Rack
To install the NDX 1U NAS SERVER into a Telco (post style) rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the NDX 1U NAS server (four total).
1Determine how far the NDX 1U NAS server will extend out the front of the rack. The
NDX 1U NAS server should be positioned to balance the weight between front and
back.
2Attach the two front brackets to each side of the NDX 1U NAS server, then position
the two rear brackets with just enough space to accommodate the width of the
Telco rack.
3Finish by sliding the NDX 1U NAS server into the rack and tightening the brackets to
the rack.

Removing Server from
the Rack
In the event you need to remove the server from the rack, follow the steps below.
1Separate the inner rail from the outer rail by depressing the black plastic flange
inside the inner rail. This will release the outer rail.
2Slide the inner rail forward and out of the outer rail.
Note: Your NDX 1U NAS server may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
