You must install the support rails that hold the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.

1. Make sure you have all the items that you need for installing the support rails.

   • Rear of rail
   • Rack mounting rails
   • M6 screws
   • Latches
   • Front of rail
   Note: You might find it helpful, with some types of racks, to remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
2. Check the labels on the support rails. Each rail has a label that indicates which is the front end of the rail and whether the rail is for the left or right side of the rack. Perform this procedure for both rails.
3. Insert the right slide rail  into the rear rack mounting flange, as shown in Figure 2, with the rail pins  protruding through the flange.
