Removing a filler panel
About this task
In most cases, the front space into which you will install the enclosure is covered by a filler panel, which is attached to latch
brackets. If one or more filler panels cover the space where you want to install the enclosure, remove each panel using the
procedure that follows.
Steps
1. Remove the filler panel.
2. Use a flatblade screwdriver or similar tool to pry off the latch brackets (Prying off a latch bracket on page 14).

Install the rails in the cabinet
This task describes the procedure to install one rail. After installing one rail, repeat the procedure for the other rail. The
procedure is the same for both the left and right rail. You can install the rails into either a square or round hole rack.
Steps
1. Position the rail end piece so the label FRONT is located at the front of the rack and facing towards the inside of the rack,
while orienting the rear of the rail to align level with the holes on the rear of the rack.
2. From the rear of the rack, pull the rail straight back until the latch is locked.
3. To install the front end piece of the rail, press the blue latch release button until the latch rotates open.
4. Pull the rail forward until the pins slide into the holes on the front of the rack, then release the latch to secure the rail in
place.
