  To connect the FXS interfaces using the FXS Patch Panel: 
1.  Mount the Patch Panel in a 19-inch rack, using the integrated mounting brackets 
located on either side of the Patch Panel. Use four 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to 
securely attach the brackets to the front-rack posts. Make sure that the left and right 
mounting brackets are attached to the rack posts at the same level so that the patch 
panel is supported in a horizontal position.
