3. Rackmount Instruction
The DSN-4100/DSN-4200 storage system can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the
Rack-Mount Kit that is included with the product. The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the
front and back of the DSN-4100/DSN-4200 storage system to maintain correct cooling. It must include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust the heat generated by equipment in the rack. Always plan the installation
with the heaviest item on the bottom of rack.
A. Ensure that power is not being applied by removing the AC power cords and attaching the mounting
hardware provided to the left and right sides of the rack supporting the DSN-4100/DSN-4200 storage
system.
B. With the help of another person, slide the DSN-4100/DSN-4200 storage system into place and secure
with the mounting hardware.
