Mounting on a Two-Post Rack

The devices use stationary mounting when mounted in a rack.

Danger: Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
Caution: Ensure that adequate ventilation and airflow is provided for the system. A 4.5 cm (1.77 in) clearance is recommended above and below the device and 8 cm (3.15 in) clearance is recommended on each side.
Note: You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for rack mount installation.
