Rack-Mount the Chassis

Rack-Mount the Chassis
Before you begin
The fully populated Firepower 9300 chassis is heavy. For safety concerns, remove the heavy components
such as the security modules, power supply modules, and fan modules from the chassis before placing the
chassis in the rack. For information on removing Firepower 9300 components, see
on page
You can mount the Firepower 9300 in a 4-post EIA-310-D rack. The static rail adjusts to fit racks with a 24
to 36-in. span between front and rear rails. The 9300 ships with rack accessories.
The rail kit contains the following:
• Two rails
• Four 10-32 x .-in. screws used to secure the rails to the rack
• Four 10-32 retention nuts for the rack
• Four 10-32 x .75-in. Philips head screws used to secure the system to the rack
Note You will also need a Phillips head screw driver and the four 10-32-in. screws and retention nuts that came in
the Firepower 9300 accessory kit. For information about the accessory kit, see
6.
Step 1
Determine what type of rack you have. You can use the rails in three different rack types. The following figure shows
the three rack types:
Figure 33: Round-, Square-, and Threaded-Hole Racks
Step 2 Secure the rails to the left and right front posts of the rack by inserting the guide pins into the correct holes. Pull back the
round hole casing to expose the guide pins.
Refer to the left/right markings on the rails to make sure you are installing the rails on the correct side of the rack. If your
rails do not have left/right markings, make sure that the rails are oriented with the thick part of the rail on top.
