Dell PowerStore Installation and Service Guide for PowerStore 500T Model

Install the rails in the cabinet

This task describes the procedure to install one rail. After installing one rail, repeat the procedure for the other rail. The procedure is the same for both the left and right rail. You can install the rails into either a square or round hole rack.

1. Position the rail end piece so the label FRONT is located at the front of the rack and facing towards the inside of the rack, while orienting the rear of the rail to align level with the holes on the rear of the rack.
2. From the rear of the rack, pull the rail straight back until the latch is locked.
3. To install the front end piece of the rail, press the blue latch release button until the latch rotates open.
4. Pull the rail forward until the pins slide into the holes on the front of the rack, then release the latch to secure the rail in place.

   

5. Repeat for the other rail.
6. The rail kit ships with two screws for additional security. Install the security screws into the rear of the rails in the screw hole next to the blue spring lock.
   NOTE:You may need a long-handled screwdriver to reach the screw hole.
