Mark and Prepare the Rails
• Using the template (Figure 6) found on the back
of this card, mark base zero and hole 8 above it
on the front rails and all four interior rails (see
Figure 2).
• If you are installing more than one quad-pack
of AlphaServer DS10Ls in the rack at the
same time: using the template, mark the top of
the first quad-pack you are installing. Use this as
base zero for the second quad-bracket, move the
template up aligning with base zero, mark hole 8
and the top of this quad-pack, until you have
marked holes for all of the quad-packs you are
installing.
• Insert a U-clip at each marked hole on the
interior rails.

WARNING: To prevent injury, access is limited to
persons who have appropriate technical training and
experience. Such persons are expected to understand
the hazards of working within this equipment and take
measures to minimize danger to themselves or others.

Rackmount Guidelines
• If you are installing less than four DS10L
systems, see AlphaServer DS10L Single Bracket
Rackmount Installation, EK-DS10L-RM.
• A maximum of eight DS10L systems may be
installed for each rackmount power distribution
unit.

Unpack Rackmount Kit
The rackmount kit contains these instructions, two
quad-brackets, U-clips and screws, two sets of
threaded guide pins (one set attached to the brackets
and one spare set), and eight rackmount ears for
securing the systems in the rack (see Figure 1).

Determine Base Zero
Decide the relative position of the system in the rack.
Base zero is where the bottom of the system will be
when installed in the rack.
If your systems are the first systems in the rack,
then base zero is between the first and second hole up
from the floor of the rackmount cabinet.
If you are adding your systems to a rack already
populated, then base zero is the top of the system
underneath the first DS10L you are installing. Each
DS10L system height requires 1U (1.75 inches); a
quad-pack of DS10Ls requires 4U space on the rails (7
inches).

Install the Brackets
There are two threaded guide pins on the brackets:
one on the front and one on the rear side of each
bracket.

Attach the Rackmount Ears
• Align the two vertical holes located on the front
edge of each system with the two holes on the
rackmount ears (see Figure 4).

If the holes in your rackmount cabinet require smaller
guide pins, a second set of smaller pins has been
included in the kit. Replace the pins if necessary.

•

Insert the front guide pin into the sixth hole above
base zero. See Figure 3, ➊. Push the bracket in.
Insert the rear guide pin into the rear interior rail
in the hole two below the U-clip, aligning the
screw hole to the C-clip. Push the bracket in
toward the side of the rackmount cabinet (see ➋).
Secure with screws on each interior rail, at the Uclips. See ➌.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the ears onto
each system, finger tight. Do not apply excessive
force.
Do this for each system.

Insert and Secure the Systems
• Starting with the bottom rack position, using
both hands, place the first system onto the
brackets and push it back into the cabinet (see
Figure 5).
•

Push the system back in to the rack. The
brackets will stop the system when the hinges
contact the latch.

•

Secure the system by tightening the captive
screws on the rackmount ears on the front of the
system.

•

Repeat this procedure until all four systems are
inserted and secured.

Check Power and Secure Cables
• Connect the power cord.
•

•

Route the power cord to the designated power
distribution unit. If installing more than one
system, cable power cords together as
appropriate.

Continue cabling (see AlphaServer DS10L Quick
Setup poster, shipped with your system, and also
on your User CD-ROM). When all cabling is
complete, connect power cord to the power
controller unit.
