Attach the Appliance to the Rack

The NGFW S1000 Series appliance ships with a four-post rack-mount kit to mount the appliance to a rack. You can use this kit to install the appliance in a two-post or four-post rack.

The S3000 Series and S8000 Series appliances ship with a slide rail kit to mount these appliances to a four-post rack and mounting ears for two-post racks. Slide rail kits are also available for order from TippingPoint. Refer to the instructions in the slide rail kit for information about installing the slide rails.

For two-post racks, use the front mounting ears to install S3000 Series and S8000 Series appliances in either front-mount or mid-mount positions.
