How to install Rack Solutions 2U Lockable Rackmount Drawers 18"

• Prepare your rack space: Ensure the server rack is clean, stable, and compatible with standard 19" equipment. Confirm there are two available 2U spaces at the location where the drawer will be mounted.
• Align mounting points: Position the drawer so its mounting ears align with the rack rail holes. The 18" depth is designed to nest within the standard interior depth of most 19" racks without overstretching the rails.
• Attach with screws: Use the included rack screws to secure the drawer’s mounting ears to the rack rails. Tighten evenly to avoid misalignment and ensure smooth operation when opening and closing the drawer.
• Verify operation: Slid the drawer in and out to confirm smooth movement along the rails. Check the fit to ensure the drawer does not bind at full extension and that the front face sits flush with adjacent equipment.
• Test locking and access: Close the drawer, engage the keyed cam lock, and confirm the drawer remains securely locked. Practice unlocking and opening so authorized personnel can access equipment quickly during maintenance windows.
