Installing the Chassis Installation Brackets
Each chassis is shipped with two chassis installation brackets in the accessory kit. These brackets are to aid in installing a chassis
into a 19 inch rack and used as a support base to vertically position and set the chassis before the rack-mount screws are
installed.
To install the chassis installation brackets into a rack, complete the following steps:
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one chassis in the
Step 1
rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. Install the chassis installation bracket where the chassis
bottom will be positioned vertically in the rack.
Step 2
Secure the chassis installation bracket to the front rails with the rack-mount screws.
If there is a second internal rack rail, which is not more than 20 inches from the front rail, you can position the second
Step 3
installation bracket to act as a rear support for the chassis during installation.
Figure 3 shows the brackets attached in a rack.
