Installing the Infoblox 2200 Series Appliance
Refer to the sections below to rack mount Infoblox 2200 Series appliances, connect them to a power source, and
cable them to a network. Before proceeding, review the Infoblox Safety Guide and follow the necessary precautions.
Note: Ensure that you install the appliance in an environment that allows open air to the front and back of the
appliance. Do not obstruct the appliance or block air flow going from the front to the back of the appliance.
Infoblox 2200 Series Rack Mounting Procedures
The Infoblox 2200 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. Infoblox also offers a four-post and an adjustable rail four-post
rack mounting kits that you can order separately. To mount the appliances to an equipment rack, you also need a
#2 screwdriver with a cross-headed tip.
You may rack mount Infoblox 2200 Series appliances in one of three ways:
• Two-post rack mount, as described in Two-Post Rack Mounting.
• Four-post rack mount, as described in Four-Post 600mm Rack Mounting on page 18.
• Adjustable rail four-post rack mount, as described in Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mounting on page 19.
Rack Mounting Safety Requirements
The following space and airflow requirements are required for Infoblox 2200 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.
