4.2.2 Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using Front Mounting Brackets
The device can be mounted in a 19-inch rack by attaching it to the rack's frame, as
described below.
Warnings:
•
At least two people are required to mount the device in the 19-inch rack.
•
For extra support for the chassis, you can also mount the device in the rack using
optional, rear mounting brackets (orderable item). For instructions, see Section
4.2.3
on page 30 .

To mount the device in a 19-inch rack using front mounting brackets:
1. With two people, lift the chassis into the rack from the front of the rack.
2. Hold the chassis for support while the second person positions the chassis so that the
front mounting brackets are flush against the front rack posts and that the holes of the
brackets align with the holes on the posts.
Note: Make sure that the left and right front-mounting brackets are attached at the same
level in the rack posts so that the chassis is supported in a horizontal position.
3. Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the two front mounting
brackets to the front posts, using 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to the rack posts.
