ear screw holes.
A flange (callout 6) toward the back of each rail assembly secures the back side of the chassis
adapter plate in place. If needed, loosen the two screws (callout 8) that secure the rear of the rail
assembly to the rack and adjust the rail assembly position for best fit or alignment. Retighten the
two screws.
Two-Post Rack Mount Installation
The rack mount option kit supports two configurations for a two-post rack installation:
•
A 3-inch or 7.25-inch post flush mount configuration
•
A mid-mount configuration
The option of recessing the chassis up to 3.8 cm (1.5 in.) is also supported for each configuration (see
on page 54). Both airflow directions are supported.
