QUICKSTART GUIDE
The 23-inch brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approximately 21") brackets are also available for rack-mounting of the Unit. These brackets are popular in the telecommunications industry where they are a standard for central office rack-mounting purposes. The 23-inch and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment assemblies in rack-mounting frames where the rack-mount equipment is typically accessed in operation from both sides.
The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Unit permits it to be mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19", ETSI, 23") of brackets. The mounting for the 23" is illustrated above. The brackets may be attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back mounting which may reduce cabling torque.
The optional 23" brackets and the ETSI (21") brackets each come as a pair in a package, along with the necessary screws for attaching the brackets to the sides of the Unit. They must be ordered as line items.
