This section describes the steps to attach mounting brackets to the chassis.

The following figure displays the front bracket alignment for mounting the device into a four-post rack.

1. Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
2. Place the bracket flush to the chassis with the attachment pins protruding through the key openings.
3. Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.

   To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flat-head screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).

Rail rods and rail slides assemble into two identical rails. Each rail connects a front post to a rear post. When installing the rails, the device slides through the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a screw that attaches the device to the rail.

Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs. Insert the plugs into rack slots to install the rails into a rack. When installing rails into rack posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs on both sides of the assembled rails and install them with bolts that fit the rack.

2	Slide rail rod onto rail slide	5	Bracket clip (aligned)
3	Attach bracket clip

 

1. Slide a rail rod into a rail slide until the rail clip makes an audible click.
   The rail clip prevents the rail extension beyond the maximum supported distance between the front and rear rack posts.

   2	Rail rod	4	Rail (assembled)

    
2. Attach the rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots. The slide assembly must be on the side of the post facing the device.
   If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.

    

3. Attach the slide end of the rail to the front post by extending the rail end past the post, then contracting the rail while guiding the rack plugs into the post.
    
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the left posts. Ensure the rails are on the same horizontal level.

Slide the device into the rack after installing the rails. Each bracket includes a thumb screw that attaches the device to the rail.

1. Lift the device into the rack and insert the mounting brackets into the slide rails.

   
   

2. Slide the device on the rails toward the rear posts until the mounting bracket flanges are flush with the rail flanges attached to the rack posts.
3. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack post using the quick-release thumb screws supplied with the brackets.

   
   

   After completing the four-post rack mount, proceed to Cable the Device section.

This section describes the steps to attach mounting brackets to the device chassis.

The following figure displays the front bracket alignment for attaching the device to a two-post rack.

The following figure displays improper bracket mounts for two-post rack mounts.

 

1. Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
2. Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key openings.
3. Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
   The following figure shows the correct bracket attachment for a front mount.

   2	Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key openings.	5	Bracket clip (aligned)
   3	Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.

    

   To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flat-head screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).

1. Lift the chassis, with the brackets attached, into the rack.
2. Position the flanges against rack posts.
3. Select mounting screws that fit your equipment rack.
4. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack posts.
