Two-Post Rack Installation
Installing the Mounting Rails
You can install the mounting rails in a two-post, open-frame rack having either universal-hole spacing (see
Figure 2-2) or wide-hole spacing (see Figure 2-3). You can install the mounting rails in either a flush-mount
or center-mount configuration.
CAUTION:
Do not install another system using this rack kit. Use only the rack kit intended for your system. Using
the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others.
Center-Mount Installation
The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for a 7.62-cm (3-inch) wide center-mount
installation. See Figure 2-1 for mounting rail components. To complete the installation, perform the
following steps:
1 Locate the right mounting rail and push the adjustable mounting bracket toward the back of the
mounting rail (see Figure 2-4).
2 Position the right mounting rail in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push the center-
mount adjustable mounting bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, and secure the
mounting flange and adjustable mounting bracket to the rack with four 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head
Phillips screws (see Figure 2-4).
3 Repeat step 1 and step 2 to install the left mounting rail in the rack.
