2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the AS2041M-32R+/2041M-T2R+ into
a rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for
installing the system into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer
to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received a total of six rack rail sections with the AS2041M-32R+/
2041M-T2R+. Two of these sections secure directly to the chassis and the third
(which actually consists of two joined sections) secures directly to the rack itself.
All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in
the hardware kit.
Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the
chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two
is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the AS2041M-
32R+/2041M-T2R+ making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails
are left/right specifi c. Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the
side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the
opposite side of the chassis. Then attach the two rear chassis rails to the chassis
in the same manner, again keeping in mind that the rails are left/right specifi c. (You
will also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.)
Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also
lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
