7.4 Rack Mounting Kits
There are two different rack-mounting kits available to accommodate different styles of racks.
The specific type and features of the rack dictates the necessary mounting kit. Use Table 7-2 to
determine the appropriate mounting kits for the type of rack you are planning to use.
7.4.1 Two-Post Shelf Kit
The two-post shelf kit allows for the E-Class/F-Class components to either be center or flush
mounted depending on the style of two-post rack. Center mounting is preferred, but is
required for free standing two-post racks. Flush mounting is permitted in two-post racks that
have been reinforced with wall supports.
Each enclosure requires its own mounting kit. Stacking one enclosure on top of another is not
permitted.
7.4.1.1 Center Mounting
With center mounting, two shelves are mounted on the front and back of the posts, with
adjustable mounting ears installed based on the front-to-rear depth of the posts. The
equipment is then secured to the mounting ears using screws.
