Mounting the Appliance
The appliance is mounted onto a four-post rack by preparing the chassis for mounting, then securing the appliance to the front posts using the mounting brackets, followed by securing it to the rear posts.
Four-Post Rack Mount
Note: Each chassis side has holes that allow for the attachment of the slide rails. Ensure that the rails are attached symmetrically to the left and right sides of the chassis and the slides can be extended to connect with the rear rack posts. Depending on the depth of the rear rack, the number of screws required will vary.
Note: A minimum of two screws are recommended for each side.
