Installing the Rack Mount

Installing the Rack Mount

Use the screws provided with the rack system. Refer to the rack user documentation for instructions.
While installing the brackets, power supplies, and cables:
  • Use tie wraps to secure cables to the bracket and rails.
  • Coil cables wherever possible.
  • Route power cables along the rails.
  • Route inter-cradle cables to the side rails and then from the rails to the bracket.
  1. Secure mounting brackets to both sides of the top tray with four M5 screws (two on each side).
    • For 4-Slot cradles, position the flange for horizontal installation.

    Install the mounting bracket with a 4-Slot cradle at a maximum height of four feet from the ground. Install the mounting bracket with the 4-Slot Battery Charger at a maximum height of three feet from the ground.
    Distance between two horizontally mounted brackets should be at least 14” apart (from top of one flange to the top of the next flange). Distance between a horizontally mounted bracket and a 25° mounted bracket should be at least 16.25” apart (from top of one flange to the top of the next flange). There should be enough clearance (2.75”) between the top of the device and the bottom of the mounting bracket above.
  2. The screw heads should protrude halfway from the rail.

  3. Align the mounting bracket’s top mounting key holes with the screws.
  4. Place the brackets on the screws.
  5. Secure the top screws.
  6. Install the bottom screws and tighten them.
  7. Route cables and connect to the power source.
    The installer should ensure that all building codes are followed when connecting the power supplies to an AC power source.
