Two-Post Rack Installation
The two-post rack kit is used to install a system in a two-post, open-frame relay rack, such as those
found in telecommunications equipment facilities. Both 3-inch and 6-inch wide two-post racks
with universal hole spacing or wide hole spacing are accommodated. You can install this kit in a
center-mount or a flush-mount configuration. The two-post kit incorporates slide assemblies which
enable the system to be pulled out for servicing.
You must properly secure the two-post, open frame relay rack to the floor, the ceiling or upper wall,
and where applicable, to adjacent racks, using floor and wall fasteners and bracing specified or
approved by the rack manufacturer or by industry standards. See the two-post, open-frame relay
rack manufacturer’s installation documentation for precautionary warnings before attempting
this installation.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to install the system into a two-post, open-frame relay rack that has not been
securely anchored in place. Damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others
may result.
See "Safety Instructions" at the front of this document for additional safety information regarding
rack installation.
