Rear Support Bars and Brackets

Under normal conditions, mounting the frame to the front of the rack with four rack screws should be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables. The optional FSB-8310 Rear Support Bars and Brackets are specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress associated with certain applications, such as mobile truck installations, to also support the rear of the frame.

Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets

Use the following procedure to install the FSB-8310 rear support bars and brackets:

1.The rear support bars can be attached to the openGearTM frame in six possible positions; refer to Figure 15. Choose the position that suits the cabinet depth that will give approximately a ½ inch (0.5") projection beyond the rear vertical mounting

rails. Using four screws per bar, as shown in the illustration, fasten one bar to each side of the openGearTM frame.

2.Mount the openGearTM frame to the front rails of the rack cabinet using four rack screws fastened through the front mounting flanges.

3.At the rear of the cabinet, slide the bracket slots over the rear of the support bars and secure to the cabinet rear rails with two rack screws each.

This completes the procedure to install the FSB-8310 rear support bars and brackets.
