Installing Optional Mid-Mount Brackets
You can purchase an optional mid‐mount bracket kit for a rack or cabinet where the standard front‐chassis ear attachment is unusable due to space concerns. To install the brackets, proceed as follows:
Warning: If the rack is not secured to the floor, it is recommended that you install the chassis in the bottom half of the rack. This helps prevent the rack from being top heavy.
Advertencia: Si el rack no esta asegurado al piso, es recomendable que instales el chasis en la parte de abajo del rack. Esto ayuda a prevenir que el rack este demasiado pesado en la parte superior.
Warnhinweis: Falls das Rack nicht mit Schrauben am Boden gesichert wird, sollte das Chassis in der unteren Hälfte des Racks installiert werden, um ein kippen des Racks zu vermeiden.
Warning: Before
Advertencia: Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar su peso sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.
Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.
1.Keeping the above notes in mind, locate the position on the chassis where you will install the brackets. The chassis requires 97.16 centimeters (38.25 inches) of vertical spacing.
2.Align the holes in one bracket with those in the chassis, as shown in Figure 3‐6, then fasten it to the chassis using 15 of the screws supplied with the bracket kit.
3.Install the second bracket as described earlier, using the 15 remaining screws.
