Installing a primary shelf or an expansion shelf
This installation procedure can be used for either storage shelf. For the systems that include expansion shelves, install those shelves first followed by the primary shelf.
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front of the rack and the rear of the rack.
Veritas recommends that two people install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one at the front. Veritas also recommends that three people lift and place the storage shelf into the mounted rails.
Warning:
To install the storage shelf into the rack
- Locate the left and the right rails.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws from the front of the rail and the two screws from the rear. Set the screws aside.
- Identify the front, taller end of each rail.
- Identify the ledges that are perpendicular to the main part of each rail. The storage shelf sits on these ledges in the rack.
- Locate the spacers and place them near the rail screws.
Note:
Two types of spacers may ship with the storage shelves. Some spacers are round, while other spacers are square. Both types of spacers are galvanized steel. Both types of spacers have the same usage and functionality.
- To align the rail with the front and the rear RUs, do the following:
Locate the RUs on the front and the rear of the rack that you plan to use.
Note:
The rear of the rack uses the two lower RUs for installation. The front of the rack uses all three RUs.
Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the inside screws of the rail.
Extend the rail so that it fits inside the front and the rear rack posts.
Insert the guide pin on the rear of the rail into the top hole of the lowest rear RU that you plan to use.
- You can use the flathead screws on the inside of the rail to extend or shorten it to fit into the rack.
- You can also use an expansion bracket if you need to reinforce the rear of the rack.
Use the UP arrow to determine whether the bracket should be attached to the rear of the left or the right rail.
- To secure the rail to the rack, do the following:
Place one spacer, each, on two screws. The following illustrations show square and round spacers. Either type of spacer may ship with the storage shelf.
If you have round spacers insert the raised portion of the spacer into the rack hole from the rack front. The spacer centers the screw for rail installation. The raised side of the round spacer is shown at the top of the following picture.
Position the rail behind the rack holes.
On the front of the rack, install one spacer and one screw in the lowest hole in the rack. Then install another spacer and a screw in the middle of the third RU in the rack.
The two remaining screws are used later to attach the shelf to the rack.
On the rear of the rack, install a spacer and a screw in the middle rack holes of the two lowest RUs.
- Be sure to tighten the flathead screws on the inside of the rail. The rail should fit snugly, without any room for movement.
- Repeat the previous steps to install the right-hand rail.
- To prepare for storage shelf installation, attach the metal handles to the sides of the storage shelf as follows:
Push the top tabs on the handles into the slots on the shelf (1).
Angle the handles and insert the bottom tabs (2).
Push the entire handle towards the side of the shelf (3).
Pull the handles up to secure them into place (4).
- With one person on each side and one person in front, carefully lift the storage shelf.
- Place the rear of the shelf into the rear of the extended rails.
- Slide the shelf partially into the rack and remove the two rear metal handles.
- Lift the front of the storage shelf up slightly, then slide it completely into the rack until it engages securely.
- Remove the two front metal handles.
- Repeat the previous steps to install the Primary Storage Shelf.
