All units shipped with rack mounting brackets can be mounted to fit a standard 19" rack. Two rack mounting brackets are provided in the box as outlined in the What is in the box section. The remainder of this document will refer to "rack or cabinet" as "rack".

Some units are actively cooled by fans. These units must be properly mounted into the rack to ensure the fans blow into the correct direction. The fan direction can be determined from the part number of the unit.

Install the rack mounting brackets with the provided screws as shown in the diagrams.

While holding the unit in position, insert the rack mount screws (not included) and turn them clockwise until they are snug, but not tight.
Once all the screws are installed, check to ensure that the unit is supported and still in the correct position.
