Installing the Expansion Unit in a Rack

The EXP200 expansion unit requires 3U of EIA rack mounting space.
Before installing the expansion unit in your rack you must:

Plan device installation starting from the bottom of the rack
Refer to the rack documentation for safety and cabling considerations.
Ensure that your planned installation is within the rack enclosure guidelines for heat generation, electrical requirements, air flow, and mechanical loading.
Note: Because of the limited space in some racks, it might be easier to connect and route cables before you install the mounting brackets and hardware devices.
Position the unit in the rack to allow for proper air circulation around and through the expansion unit.
Turn off power to your rack.
Refer to the rack documentation for instructions on removing its doors and side panels.

Use the rack mounting template that comes with the expansion unit to locate the rack mounting holes and install the unit into a rack cabinet.
If you misplace the template, you can use the following steps to install your expansion unit:

Use the following illustration of front and rear rack mounting flanges to determine the appropriate rack mounting holes for installing cage nuts or clip nuts to secure your EXP200 rails.

Note: Use clip nuts if your rack has round holes.
If your rack has square holes, you can use the rack insertion tool or a flat-blade screwdriver to install cage nuts.
On the rail marked "L", remove and save the small screw -1-;
then, loosen the four large screws -2.
Hold the rail against the outside of the left rack mounting flange and loosely insert the front black hex screws -3-.
Extend the rail outside of the rear rack mounting flange; then, install and tighten both rear black hex screws -1-.
Tighten the two front screws -2-; then, tighten the four large screws -3-.
Repeat (above) step 2 through step 5 to install the rail marked "R" on the right side of the rack.
Slide the expansion unit into the rack; then, remove and discard both white screws and wingnuts -1- from the bezel.
Align the bezel locator pins with the expansion unit; then, secure the bezel and EXP200 with two black hex screws -2-.
Use the two small screws -3- (removed in above step 2) to secure the rear of the expansion unit.
Verify that Option Switch 5 is set to Off (see 'Setting the interface options' for further device settings).
