3.5 Rackmounting
The subsystem is easily installed into a standard 19-inch rack cabinet using the mounting
holes on the sides of chassis.
The enclosure chassis can be installed using self-purchased mounting rails.
3.5.1 Considerations for Installation Site and Chassis
• Make sure you have an appropriate site location and cables prepared with adequate
lengths to connect to main power and other devices.
• At least two people will be required to install the chassis. Disk drives should only be
installed after the chassis is properly mounted. The chassis can weigh about 24Kgs with-
out disk drives.
• The following tools are necessary for mounting the chassis:
– #4 Phillips-head screwdriver
– Wrenches may be necessary, depending on the rack type
• Use the included M5 or M6 screws for securing the chassis through its front mounting
ears.
• More details about the use of optional slide rails are given in the Installation Guide that
came with the slide rail package.
3.5.2 Mounting Holes Positions
• Integrators may design their own brackets or slide rails using the twenty-two (22) mount-
ing holes on the sides of chassis.
• There are six (6) mounting holes with six (6) M4 nuts near the end of the chassis on each
side. Shown below are the locations of these mounting holes. (See the arrow marks in
Figure 3.2). See the next diagram for another group of mounting holes on a horizontal
line.
Fig. 3.1 Enclosure Side Mounting Holes (1)
• Figure 3.2 shows holes that are designed for slide rail options. There are five (5) mount-
ing holes for #6-32 screws on the sides of the enclosure for use with slide rails purchased
separately from Bosch or other vendors.
• For information on installing the chassis using the slide rails, please refer to the Installa-
tion Manual that came with the kit.
