2-Post Rack Installation 1-3

Two-Post Rack Installation

The two-post rack kit is used to install a system in a two-post, open-frame relay rack, such as

those found in telecommunications equipment facilities. Both 3-inch and 6-inch wide two-

post racks with universal-hole spacing or wide-hole spacing are accommodated. You can

install this kit in a center-mount or a flush-mount configuration. The two-post kit

incorporates slide assemblies that enable the system 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 or by industry standards. See the

two-post, open-frame relay rack manufacturer’s installation documentation for

precautionary warnings before attempting this installation.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to install the system into a two-post, open-frame relay

rack that has not been securely anchored in place. Damage to the system and

personal injury to yourself and to others may result.

See "CAUTION: Safety Instructions" at the front of this document for additional safety

information regarding rack installation.
