This section provides details for mounting SBC 5000 series chassis in a 23-inch four-post rack.

Installing 23 Inch Rack Adaptors

Align the bottom of the 23-inch Rack Adaptor with the mark on the front rail of the rack, ensuring the self-clinching nuts are protruding inside the rack and secure it with (2) #10-32X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining rack rails.

Installing Rack Rail Guides and Rack Rear Supports

  1. Align the bottom of the Rack Rail Guide with the bottom of the 23-inch Rack Adaptor and secure loosely with (2) #10-32X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots. Repeat the same procedure for the opposite side.
  2. Align the bottom of the Rack Rear Support with the bottom of the 23-inch Rack Adaptor, to make sure that the Rack Rear Supports remain outside the Rack Rail Guides and secure it with (2) #10-32X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots. Repeat the same procedure for the opposite side.
  3. Secure the Rack Rear Support to Rack Rail Guide using (4) #8-32X1/4" Truss Head screws, utilizing the forward-most and rear-most integrated nut locations in the Rack Rail Guide available within the slots in Rack Rear Supports. Repeat the same procedure for the opposite side.

For racks with #12-24, open square, or open round holes, slide the #10-32 U-Nut over the rail and align the concentric with top-most and bottom-most mounting holes with nut portion protruding from inside surface of rail.

Installing Chassis into the Slide Rack Assembly

Due to the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the system by yourself.

  1. Lift the system to align the Chassis Rails with the Rack Rail Guides and slide the chassis into the Rack Rail Guides ensuring that each Chassis Rail is engaged in its respective Rack Rail Guide.
  2. Push the Chassis fully into Rack Rail Guides until the Chassis Rack Ears are in full contact with the front surface of the Rack Rail Guides.
  3. Secure the Chassis with (4) #10-32 X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots in the Chassis Rack Ear.
  4. Tighten the (4) #10-32 X5/8" Cup Head screws securing the Rack Rail Guides to the Rack Adaptors.
