Mounting the 3000 Appliances in a
Rack
For 3100/3200 appliances there is an optional rack mounting kit that lets you mount the appliance
in a standard rack. For more information about installing this kit, see the appliance home page.
For 3600/3800 appliances, see the 1500, 3600, and 3800 Universal Rack Mount User Guide.

Appliance Air Vents
Make sure that the appliance air vents have sufficient airflow from front to rear when the
3100/3200/3600/3800 appliance is mounted in a rack.
Important - If the appliance vents are blocked, the appliance can become too hot and it can be
damaged.
The appliance and rack rails have been tested in extreme conditions and do not block air flow to
the appliance. These appliances are specifically designed to install with these rails.
