Installing the MARS Appliance in a Rack
Note
Position an inside rail along one side of the chassis with the finger tab facing outward and located closer
Step 3
to the rear of the chassis.
Align the holes in the rail with the tabs on the chassis and place the rail against the chassis.
Step 4
Slide the rail as far as it will go toward the front of the chassis to engage the tabs.
Step 5
Fasten the rail to the chassis using one screw at the front of the chassis.
Step 6
In the same manner, attach the other inside rail to the other side of the chassis
Step 7
Using two screws, attach one nut bar to the inside of the rack post. Do not completely tighten the screws;
Step 8
leave them loose enough to allow insertion of the brackets in the next step.
Insert the slotted foot of a rail bracket between each nut bar and post.
Step 9
Align the face of the bracket foot with the inside edge of the rack post and firmly tighten the screws.
Step 10
Repeat steps 8 to 10 above to install the other 3 brackets (2 front & 2 back). Ensure all brackets are at
Step 11
the same height on the rack.
Position a rail assembly (middle and outer rails) with its black plastic end caps toward the rear of the
Step 12
rack and its outer rail closest to the brackets.
Align the front screw hole in the outer rail with the threaded hole nearest the front of the front bracket
Step 13
and fit the rail assembly into the front and rear brackets.
Step 14 Slide the middle rail toward the front until the access hole in the middle rail is aligned with the front
screw hole in the outer rail.
Step 15 Insert screw through the access hole and loosely attach the outer rail to the front bracket.
Step 16 In a similar manner to steps 13 through 15, install a screw through a slot in the outer rail and into the
rear-most threaded hole in the front bracket. Firmly tighten this screw.
Step 17 Firmly tighten the front screw installed loosely in step 15.
Step 18 In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.
Slide the middle rail toward the front until the rear bracket area is accessible.
Step 19
Attach the rear end of the outer rail to the rear bracket with at least one screw. If possible, attach at two
Step 20
places.
Step 21 Similarly, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.
Fully extend the left and right rails until the extension locks have engaged and the
Step 22
back in. The rail system is now ready to receive the chassis.
Lifting and placing the chassis in the rails is a two-person task. If required, use a lifting device.
Caution
With the chassis front facing you, lift the chassis and carefully insert the rails attached to the chassis in
Step 23
the extended rails.
Slide the chassis toward the rear of the cabinet until the rails lock together.
Step 24
Depress and hold down the finger tabs on both extension locks while sliding the chassis toward the rear.
Step 25
Slide the chassis all the way into the rack until the chassis handles are against the front posts.
