Rack Mounting
Using the rack-mounting adapters provided, the unit can be mounted in a 19-inch standard rack.  The following
slide rails and brackets are recommended for mounting.
OSlide rails (CC3001-99-0191), brackets (B-308): made by CHASIS TRAK
For details, consult your dealer.
1. Remove the four feet from the bottom of the unit.
OTake care to safeguard the unit from vibration and
impact.
2. Attach the inner members of the slide rails to the
unit.
3. Attach the outer members of the slide rails and
brackets to the rack.

Check that the height at the left and right is the
same. OThere is a limit to the length of the screws which
can be used for rack mounting.
Use the accessory screws (M4a
10) for the slide
rails.
If any of the accessory screws are lost or
misplaced, use replacement screws that are less
than 10 mm long.
OEnsure the inner members are screwed in place at
the 4 locations on the left and right.5. Release the inner member stoppers, and install the
unit in the rack.  Once it has been installed, check
that it moves smoothly. OUse the mounting screws provided with the rack-
mounting adapters to attach these adapters.
OEnsure the rack-mounting adapters are screwed in
place at the 2 locations on the left and right.
OKeep the temperature inside the rack to between
41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C).
OBolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not
topple over when this unit is drawn out.
OWhen an HDD is installed, the unit becomes
heavier on the front panel side, so be careful
when removing the unit.  
ODo not move the unit while there is electrical flow,
as this could cause damage to the HDD or data.
4. Attach the rack-mounting adapters to the unit.
