· The total height of the devices to be installed in the rack is no higher than the available installation height of the rack and enough clearance is reserved for cable routing. Make sure the heaviest device is placed at the bottom of the rack.

· The gateway is ready for installation and has been carried to a place near the rack and convenient for moving.

Attaching slide rails to the rack

If the rack has slide rails installed, skip this section.

Before you attach slide rails to the rack, verify that the slide rails can support the weight of the gateway. For the weights of the device, see "Appendix B Chassis views and technical specifications."

As a best practice, order H3C slide rail LSTM2KSGD0. The slide rail has an adjustment range of 500 mm (19.69 in) to 800 mm (31.50 in).

The M9000 multiservice gateway series includes multiple models with different heights. Plan the installation location for the chassis and slide rail installation location within the rack based as needed. For the dimensions of the device, see "Appendix B Chassis views and technical specifications."

Slide rail installation varies by rack type. The following installation procedure is for your reference only.

To install slide rails:

1. Read the signs on the slide rails (see Table 1) to identify the left and right slide rails.

Figure 1 Right slide rail

(1) Guide rail	(2) Sign	(3) Installation hole

Table 1 Description of signs on the slide rails

Sign	Meaning	Remarks
F/L	Front end of the left slide rail	Mount this end to the front left rack post.
F/R	Front end of the right slide rail	Mount this end to the front right rack post.

2. Mark the slide rail installation positions on the rack posts.

The square holes on the rack post are divided into rack units (RUs). One RU has two standard installation holes and one auxiliary installation hole in the middle. The space between a standard installation hole and an auxiliary installation hole is wider than the space between two adjacent standard installation holes.

a. Align the bottom edge of the slide rail with the middle of the narrower metal area between holes, as shown in Figure 2.

b. Mark the uppermost and the lowermost installation holes on each rack post. Each rack post requires six screws to attach the slide rail.
