If you are installing controller-drive trays, or drive trays that were shipped separately (not already installed in the cabinet), you might need to install additional mounting rails in the cabinet.
Steps
- Determine the location for the mounting rails.
- Above an existing tray
– Position the mounting rails immediately above the top tray in the cabinet.
- Beneath an existing tray
– Position the mounting rails with enough clearance to hold the tray being installed:
- 8.9 cm (3.5 in.) for 2U controller-drive trays or drive trays
- 17.8 cm (7 in.) for 4U controller-drive trays or drive trays
- Use the measurement markers on the right-front and left-front vertical supports to attach the mounting rails to the same position on each side of the cabinet.

- Place the rear adjustable rail on the vertical support.
- On the rear adjustable rail, align the adjustable rail holes in front of the holes in the vertical support.
- Attach two M5×10mm screws.
- Attach the screws through the vertical support rail and the rear adjustable rail.
- Tighten the screws.
- Place the front adjustable rail on the vertical support.
- On the front adjustable rail, align the adjustable rail holes in front of the holes in the vertical support.
- Attach two M5×10mm screws.
- Attach one screw through the vertical support rail and the bottom hole of the front adjustable rail.
- Attach one screw through the vertical support rail and the middle of the top three holes in the front adjustable rail.
- Tighten the screws.
Note: The remaining two screw holes are used to mount the tray.
- Repeat step 3 through step 8 to attach the second rail on the other side of the cabinet.
- Install each tray using the applicable tray installation instructions.
- Choose one of the following options:
- If all positions for trays are full, refer to the controller-drive tray installation guide for each tray that is contained in the cabinet, and complete the power-on procedures described in the guides.
- If not all positions for trays are full, use front panel kits to cover the empty spaces above or below the installed trays.
