Mounting 3U Steelhead xx50, WWA-x10, and WWA-xx10 Systems in a Rack

Installing Steelhead xx50 and Whitewater xx10 

Important: 

All 3U systems must be mounted to a four-post rack; they cannot be mounted to a two-post rack.

Caution: 

3U systems weigh from 59-71 lbs. (26-33 kg). A minimum of two people is required to move a 3U system. Lift 

the system using both hands and with your knees bent.

Note: 

The outer rails are not required to install the system in a shelving unit. Remove the outer rails before attempting 

to install the Series xx50, WWA-x10, and WWA-xx10 in a shelving unit.

Unplug the AC power cords.

Remove all external devices and connectors.

Important: 

If your rack has square holes, use the included square-hole post adaptors. For details, see 

“Square Post-Hole 

Adaptor” on page 1

affixed the outer rails to the rack posts.
