Rack mount installation

The devices use stationary mounting when mounted in a rack. The rack-mount kit is not included with
the device and is available to order separately.

DANGER

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.

CAUTION

Ensure that a minimum of 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space above the device and between the front and
the back of the device and walls or other obstructions for proper airflow.

NOTE
You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for rack mount installation.

1.

Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two L-shaped mounting
brackets and six sink-head screws.

2.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device using six
sink-head screws.
