Infoblox SoT 1405 Series Rack Mounting Procedures
The Infoblox SoT 1405 Series appliances mount into a standard 19” (48 cm) equipment rack. The appliances ship
with accessory kits that contain the following: a pair of rack slide brackets and chassis slide rails, a pair of rack ears,
eight (8) 10-32 screws, and eight (8) 8-32 screws. To mount the appliances to an equipment rack, you also need a
#2 screwdriver with a cross-headed tip. Infoblox also offers an adjustable rail four-post rack mounting kits that you
can order separately. There are three ways to rack mount Infoblox SoT 1405 Series appliances:
• Two-post rack mount, as described in Two-Post Rack Mount.
• Four-post rack mount, as described in Four-Post Rack Mounting on page 20.
• Adjustable rail four-post rack mount, as described in Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mounting on page 21.
Rack Mounting Safety Requirements
The following space and airflow requirements are required for Infoblox SoT 1405 Series system operation:
• Minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack
• Minimum clearance of 76.2cm (30 in) in the rear of the rack
• Minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of
racks
The Infoblox appliance draws air in through the front of the chassis and expels air through the rear. Adequate
ventilation is required to allow ambient room air to enter the system chassis and to be expelled from the rear of the
chassis.
Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the appliance to an equipment rack and secure it at the rear rack posts:
1. Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the rear-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
