3.3. Rack Installation
The NetWall 6000 Series is designed to be installed in most standard 19-inch equipment racks.
The following general guidelines for racks should be followed:
•
The rack or cabinet used for mounting should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
•
Devices installed in the rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the
heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
Two Rack Mounting Kits Are Included
There are two rack mounting kits, included
both
must be installed for mounting the NetWall
6000 Series into a rack. In the product packaging, the following should be included:
•
A front bracket kit.
•
A side-rail kit.
Installing these kits is described in the following two subsections. The ordering of attachment is
not important but
both
should be installed before mounting the NetWall 6000 Series in the rack.
3.3.1. Front Bracket Installation
The front bracket kit consists of two brackets, each of which has three screws for attachment to
the front-sides of the 6000 Series as shown in the image below. There are pre-drilled holes
already in the sides of the unit which are used for attaching these brackets.
A bracket should be attached to each side of the 6000 Series casing with a screwdriver using the
screws supplied.
Described next is attaching the side-rails.
