can attach the front rack-mount bracket at the front or the rear of the chassis, depending on which side
you want to locate on the cold aisle. Then attach the front rack-mount bracket to the chassis with four M4
screws.

The port side of the FI is the rear and it faces the rear of the rack. The fan side of the FI is the front
and it faces the front of the rack. Cooling fans pull air front-to-rear. That is, air intake is on the fan
side and air exhaust is on the port side.
You can align any four of the holes in the front rack-mount bracket to four of the six screw
holes on the side of the chassis. The holes that you use depend on the requirements of your rack
and the amount of clearance required for interface cables and power supply handles.
