You can mount the MX150 on two posts in either a two-post rack or a four-post rack by
using the mounting brackets provided with the router. See “Mounting an MX150 on Two
Posts in a Rack” on page 79.
NOTE: If you are mounting the MX150 on four posts, ensure that the rack is
21.5 in. (54.61 cms) through 31.5 in. (80.01 cms) deep if you will mount the
device flush with the rack front and that the rack is 23.5 in. (59.69 cms)
through 32.5 in. (82.55 cms) deep if you will mount the device 2 in. recessed
from the rack front, thus ensuring that the protective earthing terminal is
accessible through the opening in the rear mounting-blade.
Before mounting the MX150 on four posts in a rack:
•
Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and
maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.
•
Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 121, with particular attention
to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for MX150” on page 130.
•
Remove the MX150 from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an MX150” on page 73).
•
Have two persons available to mount the router. One person supports the device in a
level position, and the second person secures the router to the rack.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
12 flat-head M4x6-mm Phillips mounting screws (provided with the four-post
rack-mount kit)
•
One pair of front-mounting brackets
•
One pair of rear mounting blades
•
Screws to secure the front-mounting brackets and the rear mounting blades to the
rack (not provided)
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest
unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of
the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
To mount the MX150 on four posts in a rack:
1. Place the router on a flat, stable surface.
2. Align a front-mounting bracket (either flush with the front of the chassis or
2-in.-recessed from the front of the chassis) along the side panel of the device chassis.
Align the two holes in the front of the brackets with the two holes on the front of the
side panel.
