Rack Installation Guide
Installing the Mounting Rails
You can install the mounting rails in a two-post, open-frame rack having either universal-hole
spacing (see Figure 1-11) or wide-hole spacing (see Figure 1-12). You can install the mounting rails
in either a flush-mount or center-mount configuration.
CAUTION:
Do not install another system using this rack kit. Use only the rack kit intended for your
system. Using the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal injury
to yourself and to others.
Center-Mount Installation
The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for a 7.62-cm (3-inch) wide center-
mount installation. See Figure 1-10 for mounting rail components. To complete the installation,
perform the following steps:
1
Locate the right mounting rail and push the adjustable mounting bracket toward the back
of the mounting rail (see Figure 1-13).
2
Position the right mounting rail in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push the
center-mount adjustable mounting bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, and
secure the mounting flange and adjustable mounting bracket to the rack with four
12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws (see Figure 1-13).
3
Repeat step 1 and step 2 to install the left mounting rail in the rack.
