Rack-Mounting the S3000 or S8000 Series Models

The S3000 and S8000 Series models are 2U appliances that you can install using a front mount or mid-mount in a two-post rack, or front and rear mount in a four-post rack.

Two-Post Rack Mount for 2U Chassis

You can choose to install your chassis into a two-post rack using a front mount or a mid-mount:

1.Align the two front rack-mounting brackets (shown in Figure 5-5) to the chassis holes according to your front mount or mid-mount requirements.

2.Secure the brackets to the chassis using the flat-head screws (three on each side) that came with the kit.

Use Figure 5-6as a guide for how the front rack-mounting brackets are attached to the appliance and to the rack in a front mount. Use Figure 5-7as a guide for how the front rack-mounting brackets are attached to the appliance and to the rack in a mid-mount.
