Rack-mounting the device by using the mounting
brackets and a rack shelf
IMPORTANT:
Mounting brackets are not used for load bearing but for securing the device to the rack. To use a
rack shelf for load bearing, make sure a rack shelf that can bear the weight of the device and its
accessories is installed in the rack before rack-mounting the device.
To rack-mount the device by using the mounting brackets and a rack shelf:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Identify the device installation position and secure the rack shelf to the rack.
3.
Use the mounting brackets to mark the cage nut installation positions on the front rack posts
according to the rack shelf position.
