Two-Post Rack Installation
This section describes how to install the M-500 appliance in a two-post rack.
1. Unpack the two-post rail kit, which contains two rail assemblies (one for each side of the
M-500 appliance). Each assembly consists of two sections: An inner rail that secures
directly to the chassis and an outer rail that attaches to the inner rail and screws into the
chassis. The inner rail has mounting holes that mount to the front of the rack post and the
outer rail has mounting holes that mount to the back of the rack post.
2. Separate the inner and outer rails by sliding the outer rail until the posts reach the round
holes and then evenly pull the outer rail away from the inner rail as shown in Figure 7.

3. Slide the inner rails on each side of the chassis over the chassis hooks. There are six hooks;
install the inner rail on the middle four hooks and then secure the inner rails on both sides
of the chassis using the flat-head screws as shown in Figure 8.
Note: The M-500 appliance ships with a four-post rack kit. To obtain a two-post
rack kit, contact Palo Alto Networks or your local sales representative.
Note: You can install the inner rail to the chassis using only one screw since this
only prevents the rail from sliding. The chassis hooks and inner rail provide the
majority of strength/stability for the rail.
