Requirements for Mounting an MX150 on a Desktop or Other Level Surface
You can install the MX150 on a desktop or other such level surface, by attaching the four
rubber feet (provided) to the bottom of the chassis.
When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the front
and back of the chassis and adjacent equipment or walls.
Ensure that the desktop or other level surface on which the device is installed is stable
and securely supported.

Table 12 on page 23 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the MX150.
Table 12: Rack Requirements and Specifications for the MX150
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Use a two-post rack or a four-post rack. You can mount the device on any two-post or four-post rack
that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and that
meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document
number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association
(http://www.ecianow.org/standards-practices/standards/).
The rack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight of the chassis.
Rack type
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the device can be
mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
