Installing the appliance into a rack

Veritas recommends the following:

  • Two people should install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one at the front.

  • Two people should lift and place the appliance into the mounted rails.

To install the appliance into the rack

  1. Extend both of the rails until they lock in place.
  2. While standing in front of the chassis, position the appliance within the extended rails with the back of the chassis towards the rack. Raise the front of the chassis and align the rear mounting posts of the chassis with the rear rail cut-outs of both rails.
  3. Lower the rear chassis mounting posts into the rear rail cut-outs.
  4. When the rear chassis mounting posts are secured in the rail cut-outs, rotate the front of the chassis down until the front chassis mounting posts on each side of the chassis fit securely into the front rail cut-outs on each rail.
  5. Check the front rail locks on each of the rails and confirm that they are secured.
  6. Lift the release tabs located at the sides of the rails and push the appliance into the rack as far as possible.
  7. Fasten the front of the appliance to the rack with the two captive fasteners that are attached to the front of the chassis.
