Rack Mounting the 8620 Chassis

The Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM is supplied with two sets of mounting brackets, one set for a 19-inch rack and one set for a 23-inch rack. You will only need to install one set of brackets, depending on the type of rack into which you will be installing the Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM. To mount the 8620 chassis in either a 19-inch or 23-inch rack, you must first attach the proper mounting brackets to the chassis, then install the chassis in the rack. The unused set of brackets can be used as a template to ensure that the correct mounting holes in the rack have been selected.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets

Procedure

To attach mounting brackets to the 8620 chassis for rack mounting:

1.Determine whether you will be front-mounting the chassis or using the 5-inch (12.7 cm) setback.

2.Install the mounting brackets on the 8620 chassis by removing the two front (for front-mounting) or two middle screws (for 5-inch setback) on each side of the unit.

For a 19-inch rack installation, use the mounting brackets with the small flanges supplied for a 19-inch rack.

For a 23-inch rack installation, use the mounting brackets with one small and one large flange supplied for a 23-inch rack.

3.Secure the mounting brackets to the 8620 chassis by using the #8-32 Phillips flat-head screws shipped in a plastic bag with the unit.
