Before you begin
When planning the placement of equipment in your equipment rack, bear in mind the
following:
• Insure adequate air flow around the chassis to provide sufficient cooling. Operating
ambient temperature will affect the amount of air circulation required to keep the
iDDR within its temperature limitations. See the Turbo iDDR User Manual for
environmental specifications.
• If the system is installed with its ventilation intakes near another system's exhaust
or in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
inside the chassis may be greater than the room's ambient temperature. Install the
system in an environment compatible with the recommended maximum ambient
temperature.
• Ensure the rack is anchored to the floor so that it cannot tip over when the iDDR is
extended out of the rack.
• Be sure to mount the iDDR in a way that ensures even weight distribution in the
rack. Uneven mechanical loading can result in a hazardous condition. Secure all
mounting bolts when installing the chassis to the rack.
The following sections describe installing the Turbo iDDR rack-mount kit
step-by-step.

Mounting the Rack Slides
Mounting the Rack Slides
Choose the proper set of rail mounting holes on the rack. Notice that the hole spacing
can vary with the rack type. When mounting the slides in racks with EIA spacing,
make sure that the slides are attached to the 0.5-inch spaced holes.
Front and rear rack rail mounting hardware is provided with the rack mount kit.
Mount the rails using the enclosed hardware. Make sure the stationary sections are
horizontally aligned and are level, as well as parallel to each other.

To install the iDDR on the rack mount rails:
1. Pull the slide-out track section to the fully extended position.
WARNING:Topreventinjury, twopeoplearerequiredtolifttheiDDR.
It is too heavy for one person to install in the rack.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, insurethat the rack is anchored
to the floor so that it cannot tip over when the iDDR is extended out of
the rack.
2. Insert the ends of the chassis sections into the slide-out sections.
3. Push thechassis toward the rack until thechassis sections lockinto the intermediate
sections.
4. Press the stop latches in the intermediate sections and push the chassis toward the
rack until the latches snap into their holes.
5. Again, press the stop latches and push the cabinet fully into the rack.
6. Insert and tighten the front retaining screws.
Making Rack Slide Adjustments
After installation, binding may occur if the slide tracks are not properly adjusted. To
adjust the tracks:
1. Slide the chassis out approximately 10 inches.
2. Slightly loosen the mounting screws holding the tracks to the front of the rails and
allow the tracks to seek an unbound position.
3. Tighten the mounting screws and check the tracks for smooth operation by sliding
the chassis in and out of the rack several times.
4. Tighten the front retaining screws once the cabinet is in place within the rack to
complete the installation.
