Complete this task to install the support rails in the rack.
The DS6000™ requires
one of the following supported IBM racks:
- 2101-200
- 7014
- 9308 (Netbay)
- Compatible Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 310-D Section 1 19-inch rack cabinet.
Use the following rack mounting template to identify the proper locations for inserting the slide rail pins.
The distance between EIA rails, from the front to the rear of the rack, is 69.5 centimeters (27.36 inches) minimum to 76.5 centimeters (30.12 inches) maximum. This rack conforms to the EIA standard. Where you place the support rails in the rack depends on where you intend to position the server or expansion enclosure.
To install the support rails, perform the following steps:
Note: A set of rail pins and a mounting flange are on each end of
the rail.
- To set the rail pins in the open position, press firmly
in on the slide-rail latch (right tab) while steadily pushing back on the
finger pull (left tab) until the slide-rail latch is locked into position.
- With rail pins open, fit the mounting flange around the rack cabinet
rail. Align the rail pins with the holes in the rack cabinet rail and release
the rail pins.
- Repeat steps one and two with the other end of the rail, aligning with the rear mounting flange.
- Repeat steps two and three with the left slide rail.
