four-post rack mounting kits that you can order separately. There are three ways to rack mount Infoblox 805 Series appliances:

Rack Mounting Safety Requirements
The following space and airflow requirements are required for Infoblox 805 Series system operation:
Minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack
Minimum clearance of 76.2cm (30 in) in the rear of the rack
Minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks
The Infoblox appliance draws air in through the front of the chassis and expels air through the rear. Adequate ventilation is required to allow
ambient room air to enter the system chassis and to be expelled from the rear of the chassis.
Two-Post Rack Mounting
To mount the appliance to an equipment rack and secure it at the rear rack posts:
Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the rear-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
Attach a rack ear on each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in
. For two-post rack mounting, the ears are
placed to fix the center of the appliance at the point where the rack ears fasten to the two-post rack, preventing strain on the chassis and
maintaining a center of gravity.

Caution
The 600mm chassis rack rails kit provided with the Infoblox 805 Series appliance provides only a limited range of travel. It does not
extend across the entire depth of the equipment rack. Exercise caution when withdrawing the appliance from its position in the equipment rack.
For a four-post rack mount, you combine the bundled pair of rack ears with a pair of chassis rack rails providing up to 600mm depth in a four-post
rack. The chassis rack rail assembly is bundled with the appliance at time of purchase. This kit also is provided as a field-replaceable unit; for
