Mount the PTX10001-36MR on Two Posts in a Rack | 83
You can mount a PTX10001-36MR:
• On four posts of a 19-in. rack or a 19-in. cabinet by using the mounting brackets provided with the
device.
• On two posts of a 19-in. rack or a 19-in. cabinet. A two-post rack mount kit must be ordered
separately.
For four-post rack installation, there are two front mount rails with two matching rear mount blades.
This configuration allows either end of the device to be mounted flush with the rack and still be
adjustable for racks with different depths. The minimum distance the front and rear rack rails can be
spaced apart is 23.6 in. (60 cm) front to back. The maximum distance the front and rear rack rails can be
spaced apart is 31.5 in. (80 cm) front to back. (The remainder of this topic uses rack to mean rack or
cabinet.)
