RACK MOUNTING THE HIVEMANAGER APPLIANCE
RACK MOUNTING THE HIVEMANAGER APPLIANCE
You can mount the HiveManager Appliance in a standard 19" (48 cm) equipment rack using standard rack
screws—typically 3/4”, 1/2”, or 3/8” long with 10-32 threads—and matching washers. The HiveManager ships
with two mounting brackets and six bracket attachment screws. Install the mounting brackets at either the
front or middle of each side of the device (depending on whether you want a front-mount or mid-mount
position, and attach the HiveManager Appliance in the rack using standard rack screws and washers (see
Figure 3).

1. Position the HiveManager Appliance so that the holes in the mounting brackets align with two mounting
holes in the equipment rack rails.
2. Insert a screw through a washer, a hole in the mounting bracket, and a hole in the rail (use two screws
and washers per bracket).
3. Tighten the screw until it is secure.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to secure the other side of the HiveManager Appliance to the rack.
