Attention:

Both

support

rails

are

shipped

with

three

screws

and

spacers,

called

alignment

pins,

already

installed

at

the

front

of

each

rail.

They

have

been

inserted

in

the

front

of

each

support

rail

as

guides

to

indicate

where

not

to

use

M6

screws

when

you

attach

the

front

of

the

support

rail

to

the

rack

cabinet.

See

Figure

11.

Depending

on

which

type

of

rack

mounting

flange

is

present

on

your

rack

cabinet,

you

might

have

to

remove

some

or

all

of

the

spacers.

For

example,

if

the

rack

cabinet

in

which

you

are

installing

the

support

rails

has

round

holes,

you

will

need

to

remove

the

spacers

from

the

top

and

bottom

alignment

pins

so

that

the

rail

sits

flush

with

the

rack

cabinet.

the

support

rails

into

the

rack

cabinet.

Note

the

following

considerations

before

you

choose

where

to

install

the

rails:

v

If

you

are

installing

the

DS4100

into

an

empty

rack,

install

it

into

the

lowest

available

position

so

that

the

rack

does

not

become

unstable.

v

If

you

are

installing

more

than

one

DS4100

in

the

rack,

start

at

the

lowest

available

position,

and

work

upward.

v

If

appropriate,

allow

for

possible

later

installation

of

other

units.

v

If

necessary,

remove

the

rack

power

distribution

unit

before

you

install

the

support

rails.

v

For

procedures

and

more

information,

refer

to

the

installation

and

service

guide,

or

equivalent,

for

the

rack

cabinet.
