Installing Equipment 25
There are two ways to rack-mount an SSG 500M Series device:
Mid-mount: attach the left and right mounting brackets to the middle of each
side of the chassis.
Front-mount: attach the left and right mounting brackets to the front of each
side of the chassis.
To install an SSG 500M Series device into a rack, perform the following steps:
1. Have one person grasp the sides of the device, lift the device, and position it in
the rack.
2. Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail,
making sure the chassis is level.
3. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned
holes. Use a number-2 phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
4. Install the remaining screws in each mounting bracket.
5. Verify that the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the
mounting screws on the opposite side and that the device is level.
