Mounting The BLU-50
Rack Mounting
To rack mount the BLU-50, first affix the rack ears (included) to both sides of the BLU-50 using two screws
(included) per side� The BLU-50 can then be installed into a standard 1U rack space using four rack screws
(included)�
When installing the BLU-50 into a rack, it is recommended that one empty rack space is left above and below the
device� This allows heat to safely dissipate� Furthermore, DO NOT attempt to install two BLU-50 devices side-by-
side into the same 1U rack space – doing so will prevent heat from safely dissipating� See the below diagram for
further clarification.
