Chapter 3 TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Installation : Step 3: Install the Rack Kit

Step 3: Install the Rack Kit
One rack kit is supplied with the P-7500 equipment in the shipping crate to install the system in a four-post 19-inch rack, and is required for each system to be installed in the rack.
Perform these steps to install the rack kit:
1.
a.
b.
Locate one of the two mounting brackets and align it over the four threaded mounting holes on the front right-hand side of the system.
c.
Secure the bracket to the system chassis using four of the provided flat-head No. 8 Phillips screws and fully tighten, using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.

If your P-7500 system uses a CHS-7500AC-01-A chassis, which requires the inner rails to be mounted on the middle of the side of the chassis, refer to Figure 8; if your P-7500 system uses chassis CHS-7500AC-02-A, which requires the inner rails to be mounted on the bottom of the side of the chassis, refer to Figure 9.

d.
Repeat step b and step c for the left side of the chassis.

c.
If you are using a CHS-7500AC-01-A chassis, attach the inner rails to the middle of the side of the chassis using four of the provided No. 6 pan-head Phillips screws, with the open end of the rail toward the back of the chassis. Fully tighten the screws using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver (refer to Figure 11). Repeat this step for the other side of the chassis.

d.
If you are using a CHS-7500AC-02-A chassis, attach the inner rails to the bottom of the side of the chassis using four of the provided No. 6 pan-head Phillips screws, with the open end of the rail toward the back of the chassis. Fully tighten the screws using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver (refer to Figure 11). Repeat this step for the other side of the chassis.

3.
To adjust the slide assemblies for a 22.5–26.5 in. deep rack, perform the following steps. (If your rack is 26.75-38 in. deep, refer to 4..)
a.
b.
Move the inner sliders to access the heads of the bolts securing the rear mounting bracket to the outer rail of one of the slide assemblies.
Figure 13 shows how the inner slide assembly can be repositioned so that both bolt heads for the front and rear mounting brackets are accessible.

c.
d.
The rail should be able to fit snugly into the rack.
Note: To gain additional length, you may have to reposition the front mounting bracket.
e.
Repeat step a through step d for the other slide assembly.
Note: To ensure the sliding assembly works properly, set the mounting brackets in the same position for both slide assemblies.
4.
For a 26.75–38 in. deep rack, one or both of the mounting brackets used by the slide assemblies must be removed and repositioned to lengthen the slide assemblies.
To adjust the slide assemblies for a 26.75–38 in. deep rack, perform the following steps:
a.
b.
Move the inner sliders of one of the slide assemblies to access the heads of the bolts securing the rear mounting-bracket to the outer rail.
c.
d.
In Figure 14, the standard configuration of the front mounting bracket is shown at top. The bottom slide assembly shows an extended configuration. Notice the positioning of the screws that is required for the extended bracket.
Note: To gain additional length, you may have to reposition both mounting brackets.

e.
The rail should be able to fit snugly into the rack.
f.
Repeat step b through step e for the other slide assembly.
5.
To install the slide assemblies in the rack:
a.
Mark the rack’s front vertical rails with a felt-tipped marker or place masking tape where the upper and lower edges of the system’s 4U space will be located.
b.
If you are using a CHS-7500AC-01-A chassis, at the front of the rack, position the slide assemblies so that their mounting-bracket flanges are directly centered between the marks or tape you placed on the rack (that is, between the 2U and 3U space within the upper and lower markings of the system’s 4U space).

To assist with positioning the mounting-bracket flanges, refer to the EIA Standard Rack Mounting Template for that is supplied with the P-7500 Router in the shipping crate.
c.
If you are using a CHS-7500AC-02-A chassis, at the front of the rack, position the slide assemblies so that their mounting-bracket flanges are at the bottom of the 1U space for the system’s 4U space.
d.
Secure the front and rear of the mounting-bracket flanges with the required screws (not provided) in the front vertical rail and fully tighten.
You have completed this procedure.
