2.3 Installing the SS8460 in a Rack
The SS8460 enclosure is designed to fit within a 4U rack space. Follow these steps to mount
the enclosure in your rack:
1. Ensure that you have these rack mount components:
- Rack rails (one left, one right)
- Rail installation hardware (screws, screw plates, shelf locking brackets)
2. Pull the enclosure rail out of the rack rail until it is fully extended. Then press the
locking tab down to release the enclosure rail
(Figure 14). Press the locking tab on the
middle rail and push it back into the rack rail. Repeat for the other rack rail.
3. Attach the enclosure rails to each side of chassis by positioning the rails over the
keyhole tabs, and slide the rails into place. The rails are marked “R” (right) and “L”
(left) viewing from the front of the enclosure. Do not exchange the enclosure rails.
Secure each rail using seven #8-32 flat head screws (Figure 15).
Note that if your rail kit includes long and short screws, use the long screws at the rear
section by the power supplies and the short screws by the disk module section.
