Mid-Bracket to Rail Assembly

Note: The rack post must have holes on both the front and rear flanges to properly secure the rack
mount rail in either a 3 inch or 7.25 inch flush 2-post rack configuration. The rack post must have
holes on the front flange to secure the rack mount rail in a mid-mount 2-post rack configuration.
The mid-bracket is used to secure the rack mount rail to the rear flange of the rack post in a flush
mount configuration or to the front flange of the rack post in a mid-mount configuration.
The positioning of the mid-bracket ear when secured to the rail can be in one of two
configurations:
• 3 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for securing to the rear rack post flange in a 3 inch rack
post flush mount configuration
• 7.25 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for securing to the rear rack post flange in a 7.25
inch rack post flush mount configuration or 7.25 inches in from the rack mount rail ear for
securing to the front rack post flange for a mid-mount configuration (the rear rack post flange
is not used in a mid-mount configuration)
The 2-post rack mount rail can be installed in both a flush mount or mid-mount configuration. In a
flush mount configuration, the rack mount rail is secured to both the front and rear flange of either
a 3 inch or 7.25 inch rack post.
