Installing the SS8460 in a Rack

7. Ensure that the rack rails are in a retracted position and not extended forward more
than an inch.
8. Position the enclosure in front of the rack location to be installed.
There are guide blocks
(Figure 19) on both sides of the chassis that aid in aligning the
enclosure with the rack rails when installing in the rack. When lifting the enclosure,
allow the guide blocks to rest on top of the rails. This will remove a good portion of the
weight while connecting the rails from the rack to the enclosure.
9. Lift and move the enclosure backwards into the rack, ensuring that the two guide
blocks rest on top of the left and right rail assemblies
(Figure 20) (not the sliding part,
but the top lip of the brackets that are attached to the rack).
10. Carefully engage the enclosure rails into the rack rails and slide the enclosure in until
the enclosure rail tabs “click” into place. The SS8460 enclosure is now mounted in the
rack.
