Rackmounting
The B021-02R-17 is designed for mounting in a 1U
rack system. The various mounting options are
explained in the sections that follow.
2-Post Rackmounting
The B021-02R-17 can also be mounted in a 2-post rack using the optional 2-Post Rackmount Kit (Model:
B019-000). The mounting hardware allows for the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. The kit
provides added stability and prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 Owner's Manual for
detailed
mounting instructions.
