Installing the rack rails
Rail kit contents:
The AMS Express rack rails should be installed into the rack at the lowest possible U height available to help keep the rack's center of gravity low.
- Remove the rails from the box.
- Install spacers in the front of the left and right rails.
- Separate the inner rails from the main rail assembly. Press the latch when the inner rail is halfway out for complete removal.
- Repeat for other rail.
- Install the inner rail to the sides of the enclosure. Align the holes of the inner rail to the pins of the enclosure, and slide it towards the back.
- Ensure the retaining clip (red) is latched onto the enclosure’s pin. Optionally, secure the inner rail with the provided screw.
- Repeat for other rail.
- Note the location where the rail will be installed in the rack (each enclosure requires 2U rack height).
- Mount the rails into the rack. Locate the desired “U” space and align the guide pins through the rack flange. The clamp hooks will ramp around the flange and hook on automatically.
- Move to the back of the rack to complete the installation. Adjust the rails to the appropriate rack depth and align the guide pins through the rack flange in the same U location in the back as was used in the previous step for the front of the rails. The clamp hooks will wrap around the flange and hook on automatically.
- Secure the rail to the rear posts with provided screws.
- Repeat for the other rail.
