HP StorageWorks 2500 Disk System - Manual (Page 27)

Converting the rails for round-hole racks
By default, the rack rails are configured for square-hole racks with load-bearing pins designed to
fit through the U-holes.
• If you are installing the disk enclosure in a square-hole rack, skip this section and continue with
" Installing the rails " on page 27. Do not remove the pins from the ends of the rails.
• If you are installing the disk enclosure in a round-hole rack, you must convert the rails as follows:
1. Locate the bag of miscellaneous hardware that is shipped with the rack rails.
2. Locate the eight round-hole pins.
3. Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the standard pins from the front and back ends of a rail.
4. Install four round-hole pins into the rail ( Figure 11 ).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other rail.

Installing the rails
For each rail:
1. Determine where the rails will be mounted and use the rack template to mark the U-holes through
which the pins will extend.
2. Insert the front of the rail into the inside front column of the rack, making sure that the pins extend
through the U-holes marked in the previous step.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the scissor-type locking latches engage when the ends of the rail seat into the
rack columns, as shown in Figure 12 inset. Failure to do so could result in an unstable rail.
