To mount the device in a 19-inch rack using front- and rear-mounting brackets:

1.

Attach the front-mounting brackets (supplied) to the chassis, using the supplied screws.

2.

Open the Rear Mounting Bracket kit and remove its contents. Make sure that all the items are included in the kit (see above).

3.

Attach the two rear-mounting brackets to the two-rear rack posts, using two screws (not supplied) per bracket. Make sure that you attach the brackets at the same height level in the rack. See the following figure for correct orientation of the brackets when attaching them to the posts.

7.

Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the rear-mounting flanges to the rear-mounting brackets. Insert the supplied screws (6-32 x 5/16 inch) from the inside of the rack, through the flange's grid and into the screw hole on the rear-mounting bracket. Finger-tighten the screws but make sure that the screws are NOT fully tightened and that the flange can freely move on the slide rails of the rear-mounting bracket.

8.

Hold the chassis for support while the second person positions the chassis so that the front-mounting brackets are flush against the front-rack posts and that the holes of the front-mounting brackets align with the holes on the front-rack posts.

Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the two front-mounting brackets to the front posts, by finger-tightening 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to the rack posts.

10.

Tighten the bolts on the front-mounting brackets.
