2 Rack Mounting the Array
Steps for Mounting an Array in a Rack
Follow these steps to mount an array in a rack:
1. Determine where to place the mounting rails in the rack.
2. Attach the mounting rails to the rack.
3. Slide the chassis into the rack.
4. Attach the chassis to the front of the mounting rails.
5. Install the bezel.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections.
Determine Where to Place the Mounting Rails in the Rack
Make sure there is enough space in the rack for the chassis. In a standard rack, a 2U chassis will span six holes.
Installing the Rails and Array in a Rack
Install the rails in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with
your rail kit.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, make sure you install the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. For more information, see Power
Supplies on page 29.
