Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack
The chassis are designed to be mounted in equipment racks that meet ANSI/EIA 310-D and ETS 300-119
standards.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Before rack-mounting the chassis, determine if you need to move the L brackets so that the chassis is installed
in one of the recommended positions:
•
Positioned so the front of the chassis is approximately flush with the front of the rack:
◦
The chassis is shipped with the L brackets in the correct location; there is no need to move them.
•
Positioned so approximately one fourth of the chassis protrudes in front of the rack:
◦
Remove the screws in the L brackets.
◦
Reposition the L brackets to align with the first set of holes behind the holes where the L brackets
were originally installed (see figure below).
◦
Secure the brackets with the screws.
•
Positioned so approximately one half of the chassis protrudes in front of the rack:
◦
Remove the screws in the L brackets.
◦
Reposition the L brackets to align with the second set of holes behind the holes where the L brackets
were originally installed (see figure below).
