To install the chassis in a two-post rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach a bracket to one side of the chassis, aligning the front flange of the bracket
with the hash mark on the side of the chassis. (See
Figure 3-2
.)

Step 2
Attach a second bracket to the opposite side of the chassis in the same manner.
Step 3
After you secure the brackets to the chassis, rack-mount the chassis by threading
at least two screws through the bracket flanges on each side of the chassis into the
corresponding holes in each side of the rack. You need two people to install the
chassis in the rack—one person to hold the chassis and one person to secure it to
the rack.
The inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located in the front and rear of the
chassis, respectively; therefore, multiple chassis can be stacked with little or no
vertical clearance.
Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack
The four-post rack-mounting system does not require any tools for installation, unless
you are shipping a device mounted in a rack. When you are shipping a device in a rack,
you need a Phillips screwdriver.
