Center-Mount 2-Post Chassis Installation
The following sections explain how to mount your Acme Packet 6300/6350 in a center-
mount, 2-post equipment rack.
Installing the Center-Mount Hardware
Center mounting ears are attached to each side of the Acme Packet 6300/6350.
These mounting ears are reversible, and are not mated to a specific side of the
chassis. While the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is shipped with all mounting hardware
for attaching the rack ears to the chassis, you must obtain and use the appropriate
hardware recommended by the equipment rack’s manufacturer for mounting the
system in the rack.
To install your Acme Packet 6300/6350 in a center-mount configuration:
1.
Locate the following components:
•
2 x center-mounting ears
•
6 x 10-32 x 5/16” flat head (black) screws
2.
Line up one chassis ear with the tapped holes as shown in the following image.

3.

to the chassis. The image below shows the installed mounting ear.
