Optional Hardware
You can optionally use an uninterruptible power supply system (UPS) to provide a highly
available source of power to an array. Each UPS (not included) should be on a different circuit
and must provide the correct type of voltage for an adequate amount of time.

Steps for Mounting an Array in a Rack

To mount an array in a rack, follow these steps:
1. Determine where to place the mounting rails in the rack.
2. Attach the mounting rails to the rack.
3. Slide the chassis into the rack.
4. Attach the chassis to the front of the mounting rails.
5. Install the bezel.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections.
Determine Where to Place the Mounting Rails in the
Rack
Make sure there is enough space in the rack for the chassis. In a standard rack, a 2U chassis
will span six holes.
Installing the Rails and Array in a Rack
Install the rails in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions
provided with your rail kit.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating t emperature of the rack
environment might be greater than room ambient. Therefore, make sure you install the array in
an environment compatible with the maximum t emperature specified by the manufacturer. For
more information, see Technical Specifications on page 31.
Slide the Array into the Rack
Slide the array into the rack as shown in Figure 2.
