ClearCube Product Manual and Installation Guide Cage and Blade Installation • 43
Cages using the Chassis Accessory kit can be installed either from the front or from
the rear of the rack. Cages using the CRM kit can be installed only from the front of
the rack.
Begin installing Cages at the bottom of the rack or cabinet. This provides support for
each Cage before it is securely mounted, and greatly simplifies getting the Cage
square and level in the rack.
NOTE: If using the Cage Rapid Mount (CRM) kit, the bottom of the lower-most Cage
must be installed at least 4 inches (10 cm) above the floor, because the Cage
needs to be tilted down slightly to install it into the CRM rails.
Standard Cage Mounting Hardware
To install a Cage using the standard Chassis Accessory kit, do the following:
1. When installing into a cabinet enclosure, loosely attach the rear adjustable
mounting brackets to the Cage with 5 screws on each side.
2. Position the Cage in the cabinet so that the front of the Cage lines up with the
front rail and then slide the adjustable rear brackets into place. Tighten the screws
that hold the rear brackets in place.
3. With the rear brackets firmly attached to the Cage, slide the Cage into the cabinet
from the rear. Open the front bezel of the Cage and then attach the front brackets
with three screws on each side that pass from the inside of the Cage to tapped
holes in the brackets on the outside.
NOTE: For your convenience, the front brackets can be attached from either the
inside or the outside of the Cage.
4. Using the hardware provided with your cabinet, attach the Cage mounting
brackets to the cabinet rails.
5. If you are installing a Cage into a two-post rack with only a central mounting point,
use the front brackets attached at the center of gravity of the Cage. The center of
gravity is 14.7 inches (37 cm) back from the front faceplate. A set of rack ear
mounting holes is provided at this location (the third group of 3 holes back). This
point should line up with the rack sidebars to assure maximum stability of the rack.
Figure 16 shows a two-post open rack with one Cage installed, properly centered
in the rack.
NOTE: The Cage Rapid Mount kit cannot be used in a two-post rack.
CAUTION: To avoid equipment damage and potential personal injury,
never install the Cage with only the front bracket as an attachment.
