3 1U Rack Installation
Rail Mounting Kit
The rack rails supplied with the 1U rack-mount enclosure can be used to install the unit in racks
that have round, square, or threaded holes in the vertical mounting columns. The rails will fit racks
with 23 - 34 inches (58 - 86 cm) separation between the front and rear vertical mounting columns.
The rails are identical and may be mounted on either the left or the right side.

Rack Safety
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that:
•
The rack leveling jacks are extended to the floor
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks
•
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack
•
The racks are coupled in multiple rack installations
•
Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason.
