Mounting 1U Steelhead xx50 Systems in a Four-Post Rack

Steelhead xx50 systems ship with rails pre-installed to the chassis for mounting to a four-post rack. This  

section describes how to mount the Steelhead xx50 system to a four-post rack.

To mount the Steelhead xx50 to a four-post rack

1.

To detach the outer rails, slide the outer rail to the end of the system and engage the release latches. The 

right release latch must be pushed down and the left release latch must be pushed up.

2.

Pull the outer rail completely off the system.

4.

To adjust the length of the outer rails to fit the distance between your rack posts, loosen the screws on 

the longer rear bracket of the outer rails. You can tighten and secure the bracket screws after you have 

affixed the outer rails to the rack posts.
