3.3.1 Mounting the SPARC M12-2 in a Rack
- Confirm that the rack mount kit supplied with the SPARC M12-2 is complete.
|
Number in Figure | Name | Quantity | Remarks |
1 | Rail | 2 | Bilaterally symmetrical shape |
2 | Cable support | 1 | |
3 | M6 screw | 10 | |
4 | Cage nut | 10 |
- Confirm that the rack is secured in place to prevent the rack from toppling over.
- Confirm the SPARC M12-2 mounting location in the rack. If necessary, mark the location on the supporting columns.
- Step 4 differs depending on the shape of the supporting column holes of the rack. Perform the work appropriate to the shape of the supporting column holes of the rack.
- For racks with supporting columns having square holes
- Attach cage nuts to the left and right supporting columns of the rack.- Attachment locations in the front supporting columns: (From the bottom) 1U center, 2U bottom, and 3U top- Attachment locations in the rear supporting columns: (From the bottom) 1U center and 2U center
|
- a. Attach cage nuts from the inside of the rack.
Orient the hooks of the cage nut vertically.
Hook the hook at one end of a cage nut into a cage nut attachment hole of the rack.
Figure 3-3 shows a cage nut hooked on the lower part of a hole.
|
- b. Insert the hook at the tip of the supplied cage nut attachment tool through a cage nut attachment hole from the front, and engage it with the hook at the other end of the cage nut.
|
- c. Pull the tool forward to attach the cage nut.
Push in direction A while simultaneously pulling in direction B as shown in Figure 3-5.
|
- For supporting columns with M6 screw holes
- Remove the pins at the front and rear of the rail.a. Remove the screw (A in Figure 3-6) securing the rail pin.b. Remove the pin (B in Figure 3-6).c. Remove pins from the left and right rails in the same manner.d. Store the eight removed pins and eight removed screws for future use when the SPARC M12-2 is moved.
|
- Loosen the two screws attached to the side of rail (A in Figure 3-7), and confirm that the brackets at the front and rear can slide.
Note - Do not remove the screws. |
|
- Attach the rail to the rack.
Arrange it so that the two loosened screws (A in Figure 3-7) are situated at the back and the shelf (B in Figure 3-7) is on the bottom.a. From the front of the rack, insert the rail protrusions into 2U top and 1U top in the front supporting column of the rack.b. Pull out the rail to as far as the depth of the rack.c. Insert the rail protrusions into 2U top and 1U bottom in the rear supporting column of the rack.d. Secure the rail with one M6 screw to the front supporting column of the rack. The fixing point is 2U bottom.e. Attach the other rail in the same manner.
Note - After loosening the screws, hold the rail level with both hands. If the rail tilts, it may stretch. |
|
|
- Attach the cable support fixing brackets to the rear supporting columns of the rack.
- a. Loosen the four screws (C in Figure 3-10) from the inside of the cable support.
|
- b. Slide the cable support fixing brackets (D in Figure 3-11) to remove them.
|
- c. From the rear of the rack, secure the rails and cable support fixing brackets (D) with two M6 screws to the rear supporting columns of the rack.The fixing points are 1U center and 2U center.
|
|
- d. After attaching the cable support fixing brackets, confirm that the rack door can close.
Note - If the door cannot close because a cable support fixing bracket or the cable support protrudes from the rear of the rack, do not attach the cable support bracket. However, secure the rail to the rack with two M6 screws. |
- Secure the rail sides by tightening the two M4 screws loosened in step 5 (A in Figure 3-14).
|
- Mount the SPARC M12-2 in the rack.
Mount the SPARC M12-2 from the front of the rack.
|
- a. When using a lifter, secure it horizontally.b. Lift the chassis to the mounting location with the lifter or with human force.c. Put the rear part of the chassis on the flanges of the rails.d. Slide the chassis into the rack. At this time, store the handle on the side of the chassis.e. Insert the chassis all the way to store it inside the rack.
|
- Secure the SPARC M12-2 to the rack.a. Push out the left and right slide locks on the front cover (A in Figure 3-15) to release the locks, and remove the front cover.b. Tighten the four M6 screws at four locations on the front of the chassis (A in Figure 3-16) to secure it to the rack.c. Insert the left and right hooks on the inside of the bottom of the front cover into the grooves at the bottom front of the chassis to attach the front cover.
Note - A label with the serial number of the SPARC M12-2 is affixed to the front cover. Be sure to attach the front cover to the corresponding chassis. |
|
- Attach the cable support.
- a. Tilt the cable support to align the circular holes at the rear of the groove with the two screws of a cable support fixing bracket (D in Figure 3-17), and attach it. Level the cable support. Then, align the circular holes on the other side with the two screws, and attach it.
|
- b. Slide the cable support all the way in, and tighten the four screws (C in Figure 3-18).
|
Note - If the dimension between the front and rear columns of the rack is less than 740 mm, secure the cable support without sliding it all the way in. The fixing location varies depending on the dimension between the front and rear columns of the rack. Based on Figure 3-19, align the scale marks (E in Figure 3-19) (spacing: 10 mm) on the cable support with the screws (F in Figure 3-19) of the fixing brackets to secure the cable support. |
|
Dimension Between Front and Rear Columns (mm) | Scale Position |
---|---|
740 | 1st |
730 | 2nd |
720 | 3rd |
710 | 4th |
700 | 5th |
690 | 6th |
680 | 7th |
670 | 8th |
660 | 9th |
650 | 10th |
Note - If you have difficulty laying a thick cable into the cable support, move the cable support forward to a fixing point that makes the work easier. |
- c. Close the rear door of the rack, and confirm that the cable support does not interfere. If the cable support interferes with the rear door, remove the cable support. Even if you remove the cable support, leave the rails secured to the rack with the two M6 screws.
