Center-Mount 2-Post Chassis Installation

The following sections explain how to center mount your Acme Packet 4600 into a
2-post equipment rack.

Installing the Center-Mount Hardware

Center-mounting flanges are attached to each side of the Acme Packet 4600. These
mounting flanges are reversible, and are not mated to a specific side of the chassis.
While the Acme Packet 4600 is shipped with all mounting hardware for attaching
the rack flanges to the chassis, you must obtain and use the appropriate hardware
recommended by the equipment rack manufacturer for mounting the system in the
rack.
To install your Acme Packet 4600 in a center-mount configuration:
Locate the following components: Center-mounting flanges (2), #10-32 x 5/16" flat
1.
head (black) screws (6)
Line up one chassis flange with the three tapped holes found along
2.
the center of the side of the Acme Packet 4600 chassis. The three
screw holes of the chassis flange will only align in one direction.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the three #10-32 x 5/16"
3.
Phillips head (black) screws to secure the flange to the chassis.
Repeat this procedure for the other side of the Acme Packet 4600 chassis.
