Installation Instructions
This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or more
systems in a rack cabinet or in an open-frame relay rack. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed
in all the system manufacturer’s rack cabinets without tools, and the VersaRails™ rack kit can be
installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets. The procedures for installing both RapidRails
and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system to be installed in the
rack cabinet.
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 ease in troubleshooting and the identification of system health, some rack kits include a
status-indicator cable assembly that extends 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 the 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.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into
or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position,
and then slide the component into the 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.
