2.1. Rack Installation Instructions
This section provides information on installing the StoneFly DR365V appliance into a rack or cabinet
with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack/cabinet units on the market, which may mean that 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/cabinet between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The DR365V appliance package includes one pair of rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of an inner rail that secures the appliance with the chassis and an outer rail that is
attached directly to the rack. The inner rails are etched with “L” (left side) and “R” (right side) to make
them easily distinguishable.

Initial Installation
Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from
coming completely out of the rack when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
Releasing the Inner Rail
Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out
of the rack when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first
release the inner rail from the outer rails.
Releasing the Inner Rail from the Outer Rails:
1. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated below.
2. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
3. Pull the inner rail all the way out.
4. Repeat for the other outer rail.

Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled.
2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the sideof the
chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
3. Slide the inner rail forward toward the front of the chassis until the quick releasebracket
snaps into place, securing the rail to the chassis.
4. Optionally, you can further secure the inner rail to the chassis with a screw.
5. Repeat for the other inner rail.

Initial Installation
Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Installing the Outer Rails
1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the rack.
If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the
rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the
rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use screws to
secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
Extending and Mounting the Outer Rails
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be
bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over. Do not use a
two post “telco” type rack.

Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails
Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least
two people to support the chassis during installation. Please
follow the safety recommendations printed on the rails.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated above.
2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.
3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides.
When the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should click into the
locked position.
4. Optional screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the
bottom of the rack first.
Caution: Do not pick up the server with the front handles.
They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.
