Rack-Mounting Instructions
Installing Mounting Ears and Handles
Figure 2. Installing Mounting Ears and Handles for a Standard Equipment Rack
Figure 2.1. Installing Mounting Ears for a Telco Rack
The mounting ears should be installed on the IntraPort Carrier-8 VPN Access Server whether
you are planning to rack-mount it or not. The handles need not be installed for Telco rack
mounts because there is not enough finger room to use them, but the handles are recommended
for all other installations.
If you are not going to rack-mount the IntraPort Carrier-8, it is recommended that you install
the mounting ears and handles using the Standard Equipment Rack position (as shown in
Figure 2).
1.
Use the supplied screws and fasten the mounting ears to the sides of the device using
5 screws on each side as shown in Figure 2 (for a standard equipment rack) or in Fig-
ure 2.1 (for a Telco rack).
2.
Use the supplied screws and fasten the handles and spacers to the center of the mount-
ing ears as shown in Figure 2.
