The four-post rack-mounting system is designed for racks that do not have
pre-threaded holes. If you are using an equipment rack with pre-threaded holes,
the pins will not protrude through the rack. Instead, secure the slide rails to the
rack by attaching screws through the slide rail pin brackets at both ends of each
rail. (See Figure 3-11.)

When you install a chassis on a workbench or tabletop, ensure that the surface is
clean and in a safe location and that you have considered the following:
• The chassis should be installed off the floor. (Dust that accumulates on the
floor is drawn into the interior of the chassis by the cooling fans. Excessive
dust inside the device can cause overtemperature conditions and component
failures.)
There must be approximately 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front
•
and rear of the chassis for accessing network cables or equipment.
The device must receive adequate ventilation (it cannot be installed in an
•
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate).
