3.2.3 Installing the Chassis
Install the RS 2100 in a standard 19” equipment rack.
Warning Before performing any mechanical upgrade or installation procedures, ensure
that the RS 2100 is powered off.
Warning Never attempt to rack mount the RS 2100 unaided. Ask an assistant to help
you hold the chassis.
To install the RS 2100 chassis in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You need a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver to perform this procedure.
1. Remove the two screws that help hold the front panel of the RS 2100 on to the rest of the chassis.
There is one screw located on each side of the chassis near the front of the RS 2100. These screws
will be reused to hold the rack mounting brackets to the RS 2100.
2. Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of the RS 2100. The
mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the mounting flange is flush with the front of the
RS 2100.
3. Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied Phillips-head screws to attach the mounting
bracket to both the side and bottom of the chassis.
Warning Be sure to use the Phillips-head screws supplied by Riverstone. If you use
screws that are longer than the ones included with your shipment, there is a
danger of damaging the RS 2100‘s internal components.
4. Attach the other mounting bracket.
5. Along with an assistant, lift the RS 2100 into place in the mounting rack.
6. While your assistant holds the chassis in place, use the appropriate tool and mounting hardware to
attach the mounting brackets to the equipment rack.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of how to install
the RS 2100 in the equipment rack.
