Tabletop Installation Tips

The chassis should be placed on a flat, smooth surface (e.g., a table) that is free of
contaminants. This surface should be capable of supporting a fully equipped chassis. Be sure
to allow enough clearance above and below the chassis for proper air circulation. You must
use the metal brackets and feet furnished with the chassis for this purpose.
2.3.4

Installing the Chassis

Figure 2-1 shows the mounting bracket holes. To mount the chassis in a rack, first attach the
brackets to the sides of the chassis, using the four associated 10-32 x 1/4" screws. You can
attach the brackets to either the front or rear of the chassis. Then, use the four 12-24 x 1/4"
screws to mount the bracketed chassis on the rack.
The brackets are also reversible for mounting in 19-inch or 23-inch racks (48.2 or 58.4 cm).
For a 19-inch rack, attach the long sides of the brackets to the chassis. For a 23-inch rack,
attach the short sides of the brackets to the chassis.

If you are placing the chassis on a tabletop or other flat surface, be sure to leave enough
clearance for air circulation through the system. Make sure the chassis is accessible from the
front, and that it has at least 3/4 inches (2 cm) of room above it. Attach the metal brackets to
the chassis sides. Then, insert the plastic abrasion-protective "feet" in the holes near the ends
of the bracket.
