Figure 54: Reattaching a BPS Rail Front Bracket

3. To reconfigure the rear portion of the BPS rail, extend the rear portion of the rail completely, press the

release latch to release the rear portion and remove it from the rail, rotate the rear portion 180 degrees, and

then slide the read portion onto the rail until you hear the release latch click.

At this point, both the front and rear of the BPS rails are configured for a tooled rack. You must obtain the

hardware (screws) needed to attach the rails to the tooled rack.

Cable Management for Controllers Installed on Static Rails

The standard rails included in the shipping box with the FS7500 controller are sliding rails. If you want to use

static rails, you must purchase them separately. remember that you will need two sets, one for each controller.

To manage cables for controllers installed on static rails, do the following:

1. Install the static rails into the rack. Follow the instructions included in your rail kit.

2. Install the controller into the rails.

3. Secure the hook-and-loop fasteners (included in the FS7500 shipping box) to the back of the rails.

4. Install the cables as described in Chapter 4, Network Cable Connections. Verify that all of the connections

are secure.

5. Bundle the cables as described in Bundling the Signal and Power Cables on page 46.
