Installing the support rails
Attention: Duplicate copies of the rack mounting templates are provided in
Appendix B, “Rack mounting template,” on page 171. If you want to tear out the
templates from this document for easier use, use the copies in Appendix B, “Rack
mounting template,” on page 171 rather than the copies provided in this section.
Use the rack mounting templates (Figure 9 on page 28 and Figure 10 on page 29)
to identify the proper locations for inserting M6 screws when mounting the support
rails and DS4500 Storage Subsystem to a rack cabinet. The locations for the M6
screws are highlighted in the templates.
Hold the appropriate template up to each side of the rack cabinet at the 4-U section
where you will install the DS4500. U boundaries are shown as horizontal dashed
lines in the rack mounting templates. The highlighted squares on each side of the
template mark the positions where you will thread the M6 screws that secure the
rails and the DS4500 to the front and rear of the cabinet.
Note: The mounting holes that are shown in the following templates are square.
The holes in your rack might be round, square, or threaded.
