• Unpack the RMK-89 kit and verify that all mounting rails, fasteners, and any installation hardware are present. Inspect the rails for any signs of shipping damage before beginning assembly.
• Attach the mounting rails to the chosen rack section, aligning with standard 19-inch rack spacing. Use the provided screws and supports to secure the rails firmly to the rack posts, ensuring level alignment and solid attachment for vibration resistance.
• Mount the Vertiv Avocent ACS8000 Serial Console to the RMK-89 rails. Align the console with the rails and slide it into the rack space until it is snug against adjacent equipment. Secure the console to the rails using the included fasteners, taking care to avoid overtightening that could deform mounting components.
• Route cables cleanly along the rails and into cable managers or ties as needed to minimize obstruction and ease future maintenance. Verify that console ports are accessible and that cooling airflow around the mounted equipment remains unobstructed. Power up the console and perform a basic functional check to confirm reliable operation and proper communication with management software.
