MMS Servers - Rack Rail Kit

Overview

All MMS Multimedia servers come with a Rack Rail Installation Kit, which

includes the hardware required to mount the MMS servers in a standard

19-inch (48-cm) rack.

MMS-900 Servers use a more heavy-duty version of the installation kit to

accommodate their size and weight. The rack-rail kit that comes with the

MMS-900 comes with its own installation instructions.

Each Rack Rail Installation Kit supports one server, and the parts included

in the rack rail hardware kit include:

• Two Outer Slide Rails

• Two Inner Server Rails

• Two Long Extension Brackets

• Two Short Extension Brackets

• Four 3-hole Locking Plates (with large holes)

• Four 3-hole Locking Plates (with small holes)

• Variety of screws (20 large, 20 small/long and 20 small/short)

Note: You may not need all the parts included in the rack rail hardware kit

for every installation. You may have some parts left over.

The basic steps for installing the MMS server into a rack are:

1. Prepare the Slide Rail Assemblies: The Inner and Outer Rails must be

separated before they can be attached to the MMS and the rack.

2. Attach the Inner Server Rails to the MMS Server.

3. Attach the Extension Brackets to the Outer Slide Rails.

4. Install the Outer Slide Rails in the server.

5. Slide the server (with Inner Server Rails attached) into the Outer Slide

Rails in the rack.

Each step is described in more detail in the following subsections.

Step One: Prepare the Slide Rail Assemblies

The two Outer Slide Rails, and two Inner Server Rails come assembled in

the rack rail hardware kit. You must separate these pieces before beginning.

The Inner Server Rails will be attached to the MMS chassis.

To detach the server rails from the slide rail assemblies:

1. Place the two slide rail assemblies on a flat surface.

2. Extend the Inner Server Rail from the slide rail assembly until the Inner

Server Rail release latch clicks and locks.

3. Holding down the latch on the back side of the Inner Server Rail, slip

the server rail out of the inner slide.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second slide rail assembly.

Set the Inner Server Rails aside. You will attach them to the MMS chassis

(as described in the next section).

Step Two: Attach the Inner Server Rails to the MMS chassis

The inner slide rails attach to the MMS server chassis, with the locking

Release Tab facing out from the server, as indicated in FIG. 2.

Slide the notched end of the rail under the tab in the front of the server and

screw into place towards the rear of the rail using the small/short screws

(four per side).

Step Three: Attach the Extension Brackets to the Outer Rails

The Extension Brackets attach to the outer rails (using the 3-hole locking

plates). You will choose either the Short Extension Brackets, or the Long

Extension Brackets, depending on the depth of the rack you are mounting

the MMS into.

1. Attach the Extension Bracket to the Outer Rail using the small/long

screws and a 3-hole Locking Plate, as shown in FIG. 3. Select the type

of locking plate (large or small holes) that works best with the rack you

are using.

Note: Depending on the type of rack you are using, you may need to

use Extension Brackets on the front of the server as well.

2. The feet of the Extension Bracket are placed at the end of the rail. The

type of cabinet/rack you are using will dictate whether the Extension

Bracket feet should point in towards the server or out towards the rack.

3. Repeat the process for the opposite Outer Rail.

Step Four: Install the Outer Rail/Extension Racket Assemblies In the

Rack

Once both of the Outer Rail/Bracket assembles (from the previous step) are

prepared, they can be installed into the rack cabinet. Follow these steps for

both of the Outer Rail/Bracket assemblies:

1. Insert the Outer Rail/Bracket assembly into the rack. Make sure that

the Extension Bracket is situated towards the rear of the rack.

2. Attach the rear end of the Outer Rail/Bracket assembly to the rack with

two screws, (securing the Extension Bracket, Locking Plate and Outer

Rail to the rear flange of the rack cabinet).

3. Align the front of the Outer Rail/Bracket assembly to the front flange on

the rack, and secure using two screws.
