2-Post Rack Mount Installation
The rack mount option kit supports two configurations for a 2-post rack installation:
• A 3 inch or 7.25 inch post flush mount configuration
• A mid-mount configuration
The option of recessing the chassis up to 1.5 inches is also supported for each configuration (see
“Installing the Adapter Plates” on page C-3). Both air flow directions are supported.
Figure C-6 on page C-8 displays the 2-post rack flush mount and mid-mount configurations for
supported air flow directions for a 3 inch post installation. The same configurations apply to a 7.25
inch post installation. The recessed chassis configurations are not displayed.
