To attach the device to a 19-inch rack, follow these 2 steps:

1Position the device in your 19-inch rack and align the left-hand and right-hand bracket holes to the required holes in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.

2Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not provided) to fasten the device to the frame of the rack.

3Com recommends using two additional rear mounting brackets (not supplied) to provide added support.

Users assembling the rear brackets by themselves should note the following:

•The distance between the screws on each bracket is 26.5 mm.

•To attach the brackets, use 4-40 screws with a maximal box penetration length of 3.5 mm.

To place the device on a 19-inch racks shelf, follow these 2 steps:

1Place the device on the preinstalled shelf.

2You are now recommended to take the optional steps of fastening the device to the frame of the rack (as described above) while it is placed on the shelf, preventing it from sliding when inserting cables into connectors on the rear panel.
