To install the TrueNAS ES60 Expansion Shelf in a rack, follow these steps:

1. Separate Cabinet Rails from Rack Rails: Each rack rail includes an inner cabinet rail that must be removed. Extend the cabinet rail until the white release tab is exposed. Slide the white release tab to the right to release the cabinet rail. Repeat for the second rail.

2. Mount Cabinet Rails: Align the cabinet rail keyholes with the posts on the side of the chassis. Slide the rail towards the rear of the system until the metal tab clicks and secures the rail in place. Repeat for the other side.

3. Mount the Rack Rails: Install four cage nuts inside the rack, two where the rails attach to the front of the rack, and two at the rear. Place one rail in the rack with the Front stamp at the front facing outwards. The Rear stamp goes at the back of the rack. Align the pins on both rail ends with the mounting holes in the rack. Push the pins into the rack holes until they lock in place. Secure the rails to the cage nuts using the provided screws.

4. Mount the Unit in the Rack: Lift the ES60 with attached cabinet rails and align the cabinet rails with the inside front of the rack rails. Slide the ES60 forwards into the rack rails until it stops. Locate the blue tabs on the inside of the cabinet rails. Slide the tabs towards the front of the ES60 and hold them in place. Push the chassis into the rack until the ears are flush with the front of the rack. Secure the unit in the rack using the thumbscrews on the ears.
