Rack Mounting Procedures
The Infoblox 2205 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 2205 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
Adjustable rail four-post rack mount, as described in .Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mounting
Rack Mounting Safety Requirements
The following space and airflow requirements are required for Infoblox 2205 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 Mounting
Infoblox provides a pair of rack mounting ears as part of the Accessory Kit for your appliance. For optimal physical stability of the appliance in a two-post
installation, you use the provided ears to mount the appliance from its rear to the posts of the rack.
To mount the appliance to an equipment rack and secure it at the rear rack posts:
Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the lower front mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
Attach a rack ear on each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in . Only one location on each side will perfectly match Figure 5
the screw holes on each rack ear:

3. With one person on each side, lift the appliance and position it in the equipment rack.
4. Attach each rack ear to the equipment rack with two (2) 10-32 screws on each side.
Four-Post 600mm Rack Mounting
:Caution The Four-Post 600mm chassis rack rails kit provided with the Infoblox 2205 Series appliance provides only a limited range of travel. It does not
extend through the entire depth of the equipment rack. Exercise caution when withdrawing the appliance from its position in the equipment rack.
For a four-post rack mount, you combine the bundled pair of rack ears with a pair of chassis rack rails providing up to 600mm depth in a four-post rack.
The chassis rack rail assembly is bundled with the appliance at time of purchase. This kit also is provided as a field-replaceable unit. For information, see In
. The chassis rack rail kit is designed to allow one person to perform the physical installation of the rack rail kit and the ternational AC Power Cords
appliance.
Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the front-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
Attach the rack ears (provided as part of the Accessory Kit) to the front end of each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in Figur
