Rack mounting the SEHI

Stacking the SEHI when applicable

WARNING

Before installing the SEHI into a rack, ensure that the rack can support the device(s) without compromising the stability of the rack. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Attaching the Strain-Relief Bracket

Attach the strain-relief bracket to the front of the SEHI as follows:

1.Locate the strain-relief bracket and four 8-32 x 3/8-inch pan-head screws from the rackmount kit.

Do NOT attempt to attach the strain-relief bracket with screws other than the 8-32 x 3/8-inch screws included with the SEHI. Use of longer screws may damage the unit or cause electrical shock.

2. Attach the strain-relief bracket to the bottom of the SEHI (Figure 4-3).
