Rack Installation Guide
Installation Instructions
This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or more
systems in an open-frame relay rack or in a rack cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed
without tools in manufacturer’s rack cabinets that have square holes; the VersaRails™ rack kit can
be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets that have square or round holes. The
procedures for installing both RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is
required for each system installed in the rack.
This guide includes procedures for the following rack kits:
•
RapidRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet
•
VersaRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet
•
Two-post kit (installed in either center-mount or flush-mount configuration,
for 3- or 6-inch-wide racks)
For ease in troubleshooting and determining the health of your system, some rack kits include a
status-indicator cable that relays the information from the two-color status indicators on the front
and back panels to the back of the cable-management arm. For more information on these
indicators, see your system User’s Guide.
Before attempting this installation, you should read through this entire document carefully.
CAUTION:
Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use only the rack kit for
your system. Using the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal
injury to yourself and to others.
Rack Requirements for VersaRails
NOTICE:
The VersaRails rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a rack that
meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and
Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each system that is installed in a rack.
•
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
•
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
•
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
