installation, or to access cables or equipment.

Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation

Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks:
• Decide whether or not you want to front rack-mount or rear rack-mount the chassis
• Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets to your chassis.
If you install cable-management brackets, make certain that the chassis is installed in the equipment rack first.
Note
• Decide if a two-post or four-post rack-mount will be used.
