clip to a metal surface to act as ground. An ESD strap is not supplied
with the device.
2. Place the device on a flat and stable surface.
3. Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the device
ensuring the mounting holes on the device line up to the mounting
holes on the rack mounting bracket. The following figure illustrates
where the mounting brackets are placed on the device.

the device.
6. Insert the device into the 19-inch rack and secure the unit to the rack
with the rack screws (not provided by the Allied Telesis supplier).
