Two-Post Rack Installation

You can install the two-post rack (part number IDS-RAIL-2=) in a center-mount or flush-mount
configuration. The two-post kit incorporates slide assemblies that enable the appliance to be pulled out
of the rack for servicing.
You must properly secure the two-post, open frame relay rack to the floor, the ceiling or upper wall, and
where applicable, to adjacent racks, using floor and wall fasteners and bracing specified or approved by
the rack manufacturer.
Warning Do not attempt to install the appliance into a two-post, open-frame relay rack that has not been
securely anchored in place. Damage to the appliance and injury to yourself and to others may result.
