B-Series TI24X device in a Telco rack
Dell recommends installing the PowerConnect
TM
B-Series TI24X device on a Telco equipment rack. If you are
installing the device on a non-Telco rack, you must replace the mounting brackets that were shipped with the device
with long mounting brackets. See your installation guide for details.
The PowerConnect
TM
B-Series TI24X device ships with a singe power supply, although the chassis is designed to
house two power supplies. If you are installing an optional second power supply, you can install it now, or you can
add it after installing the device. For details about installing a second power supply, see the installation guide.
To install the device in a Telco rack, mount the device in the rack using four standard #12-24 pan-head screws, as
shown in Figure 2.
