Installing the Device
2.3.3 Mounting the Device to a Panel
1. Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct side of the
chassis.
Note
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters
to be installed up to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.

2. If required, install adapters on the opposite side of the device to protect from
vibrations.
3. Insert the device into the rack.
Note
Since heat within the device is channelled to the enclosure, it is recommended
that 1 rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device.
This allows a small amount of convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
4. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.

adapters pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to
