•Determine the proper position of the rails in the rack.
Caution: Consider rack stability when deciding where to place the FastStor 1.
Hazardous conditions can result from uneven mechanical rack loading.
FastStor 1 uses 1U of vertical rack
space. The rails must be installed in a
full U position. The bottom of the rails
must be aligned with the bottom of a

Installing the “Rail Left Assembly”
1. Measure the length between the rear rack mount rails and the front rack
mount rails. If the measurement is shorter than the FastStor 1, move the two
sets of screws M4x12, washers and nuts shown in Figure 4.
2. Adjust the “Rail Left Assembly” to fit the measurement in step 1.
3. Use a 7 mm open-end wrench together with the screwdriver to tighten the
two M4x12 screws to fix the rail length. Note: Using more than two screws
will increase the stability of the Rack Mounting Kit.
4. Place the “Rail Left Assembly” on the left side of the rack, between the rear
rack mount rail and the front rack mount rail.
5. Mount the “Rail Left Assembly” at the desired height using one M6x12 screw
in front (upper hole in rail only) and two M6x12 screws at the back. See
Figure 5.
Installing the “Rail Right Assembly”
Follow the instruction for left side only using the “Rail Right Assembly” on the right
side of the rack.
