Mounting the SSA
Enterasys S-Series Stand Alone (SSA) Hardware Installation Guide 2-7
Rack Mounting the SSA in a Two-post Rack (7-inch Posts)
In a two ‐ post rack with 7 ‐ inch posts, the SSA is flush ‐ mounted in the rack and secured in the SSA
rails to the front and rear of the posts. In this procedure, you need to modify the rails by removing
the rail extensions and attaching the mounting brackets, which are supplied in the rail kit.
To rack mount the SSA in a two ‐ post rack with 7 ‐ inch posts:
1. Remove the extensions from each rail by unscrewing the rail clamps. See Figure 2 ‐ 3 .
The rail extensions and rail clamps are not used to install an SSA in a two ‐ post rack. Save the
eight 6 ‐ 32 screws to be used in the next step.
Figure 2-3 Removing the Rail Extensions
Notes: If you plan to secure the rear of the SSA to the rails, you must remove the screw in the left
rear corner of the SSA BEFORE you install the SSA in the rack. For more information, see
“
Securing the SSA to the Rear of the Rails ” on page 2-11.
The SSA rail kit does not include screws for attaching the rails or the SSA to the rack posts.
Caution: If you are installing an SSA in a four-post or two-post rack, you must use the SSA rail kit to
install the SSA in the rack. Do not attempt to secure the SSA directly to the rack using the small
front mounting ears.
Precaución: Si instala un SSA en un estante de cuatro o de dos postes, debe usar el kit de rieles
de SSA para realizar la instalación. No intente asegurar el SSA directamente en el estante usando
las lengüetas de montaje delanteras pequeñas.
