WARNING! Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the product(s) during the
installation process. Use of the appropriate lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.
1. Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the rack, adjusting the rails to fit
the rack, as needed (1).
2. Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws. Make sure that the shoulders
of the screws fit inside the square or round holes of the rack (2).
NOTE: If installing rails in a square hole rack, use larger-sized shoulder screws and pins for
mounting. If installing rails in a round hole rack, use smaller-sized shoulder screws and pins
for mounting.
3. Slide the device into position on the rails (1) and then tighten the thumbscrews (2) on the front
of the device to secure the device to the rack. It should be immediately above or immediately
below the HP D2D Backup System.
