Installing a ZS4-4 or ZS3-4 onto the Rack Slide Rails

Use the following procedure to install a ZS4-4 or ZS3-4 controller onto the rack slide rails.


Caution

Caution  -  This procedure requires a minimum of two people, or a mechanical lift, because of the weight of the chassis. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury. Always load the heaviest equipment (disk shelves) at the bottom of the rack.


  1. If your rack includes an anti-tip foot, extend it from the bottom of the rack.

  2. Lower the rack stabilization feet if you have not already done so.
  3. Push the slide rails into the slide-rail assemblies in the rack as far as possible.
  4. Raise the chassis so that the back ends of the mounting brackets are aligned with the slide rail and insert the chassis into the slide rails, pushing the chassis slowly, until the mounting brackets meet the slide-rail stops (approximately 12 inches, or 30 cm).

    Caution

    Caution  -  When inserting the controller into the slide rail, ensure that both the top and bottom mounting lips of the mounting brackets are inserted into the slide rail. The controller should slide forward and backward easily if correctly installed. If the unit does not slide easily, ensure that each mounting lip is inserted properly. If the mounting brackets are not inserted properly, the unit may fall when removing it from the rack, causing equipment damage and possibly personal injury.

  5. Simultaneously push and hold the green slide-rail release buttons on each mounting bracket while you push the controller into the rack. Continue pushing until the slide-rail locks (on the front of the mounting brackets) engage the slide-rail assemblies with an audible click.

    Caution

    Caution  -  Verify that the controller is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide-rail locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before continuing, or equipment damage and possibly personal injury could occur.
