weight‐bearingcapacityforthedevice,andnoobstacleisaffectingtheinstallationinsideoraround
thecabinet.
Beforeinstallingthedeviceinastandard19‐inchcabinet,checkthat:
zThecabinetisproperlygroundedandstabilized.
zTheweight‐bearingcapacityofthecabinetissufficienttosupportthedevice,andnoobstacle

InstallationProcedure
Planningtheinstallationpositioninthecabinet
Planthespaceandpositionaccordingtotheheight(2U)ofthedeviceandthenumberofdevices
youwanttoinstall.Ifthecabinetisequippedwithatray,usethetrayfortheinstallation.Ifnotrayis
available,usesliderails.
Thisproceduretakessliderailsasanexample.Figure2‐4showsthesliderailsandtheinstalled

Mountingthedeviceontothesliderails

CAUTION!
EnsurethatthedeviceperfectlyalignswiththeUmarksonthemountbarsandisinfullcontact
withthetrayorthesliderails.Agapbetweenthedeviceandthetrayorthesliderailswillcause
instabilityofthedeviceandmayaffectitsoperationstability.Forharddisks,instabilitymaycause
damageandincreaseread/writeerrors.

1. Placethedeviceontothesliderailsandthenpushthedeviceslightlyintoplace.
2. Alignthescrewslotsonthedevicewiththescrewholesonthecabinet,insertthescrews
throughtheholesandthentightenthescrews.

Ifa19‐inchcabinetisnotavailable,youmaydirectlyplacethedeviceonacleanworkbench.
Beforeinstallingthedeviceontheworkbench,checkthat:
zTheworkbenchisfirmenoughtobeartheweightofthedeviceandthecables.
zTheworkbenchisstabilizedandproperlygrounded.
zRoomofatleast30cminthefrontandatthebackofthedevice,andatleastof10cmonboth
