2-Post Rack Mount Installation
C-10 Optional Rack Mount Rail Kit Installation
You can position the mid-bracket on to the rail in the following configurations:
• 3 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for securing to the rear rack post flange in a 3 inch rack
post flush mount configuration. See Figure C-8.
• 7.25 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for securing to the rear rack post flange in a 7.25
inch rack post flush mount configuration. See Figure C-9.
• 7.25 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for securing to the front rack post flange for a mid-
mount configuration (the rear rack post flange is not used in a mid-mount configuration). See
Figure C-10.
The 2-post rack mount rail can be installed in both a flush mount or mid-mount configuration. In a
flush mount configuration, the rack mount rail is secured to both the front and rear flange of either
a 3 inch or 7.25 inch rack post.
