Rack Mounting the Chassis

Step 3 Install a die-cast bracket to either side of the chassis by aligning and inserting the tab at the end of the bracket into the hole on the chassis and then hinging it into position so that the bracket is flush with the front face plate (bezel) of the chassis. Secure each bracket to the chassis with three screws.

(See Figure 3-6.)

Step 4 Install two shoulder screws into the threaded hole locations on either side of the chassis (see Figure 3-7for one side), and ensure that they are tight.

Rack Mounting the Chassis with the Slide Rail Mounting System

This section describes how to rack mount the chassis using the slide rail mounting system.

Although slide rail mounting is preferred, in the case of two-rail racks where the slide rails will not fit, you can use the rack mounting brackets. You must order them separately (ASA-BRACKETS=). Note that there will be a slight bend in the brackets when you attach them. For the procedure for attaching the brackets to the front or back of the chassis, see the “Rack Mounting the ASA 5512-X,5515-X, and 5525-X With Brackets” section on page 3-2.
