Rack Mount Barracuda Backup Server Models 390 through 1091
For Barracuda Appliances 390 and above, these rack mounting Instructions provide information on installing the SC825 chassis into a rack unit
with the rail kit provided. Refer to the installation instructions that comes with the rack unit for detailed instructions.
Choose a Setup Location
Allow enough clearance in front of the rack to allow the front door to open completely (~25 inches).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a "Restricted Access Location" (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and other secure,
ventilated environments).
You must have access to a grounded power outlet.
Install the Barracuda Backup Server into the Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC825 chassis into a rack unit with the provided rails. Refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using for detailed instructions; these rails fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identify the Rack Rail Sections - The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis,
and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

Model 190
The Model 190 is a desktop unit and does not require rack mounting.
Rack Mounting Precautions
Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the oor 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.
Verify 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 Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are adding to the
chassis. 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 rst, and then work upwards.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes, and to keep your system
operating in case of a power failure. Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. Always
keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Ambient Operating Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Proper Airow and Mechanical Loading - Mount equipment into a rack so that the amount of airow required for safe operation
is not compromised and to prevent any hazardous condition that can arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the
effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing these concerns.
Reliable Ground - To ensure a reliable ground at all times, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be
given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
