Before installing the services gateway in an open-frame rack, install the large mounting shelf on the rack. The small mounting shelf is not needed.
If you are front-mounting the services gateway, also remove the center-mounting brackets located on each side of the chassis.
Table 1 specifies the holes in which you insert screws to install the mounting hardware in an open-frame rack (an X indicates a mounting hole location). The hole distances are relative to one of the standard “U” divisions on the rack. For reference, the bottom of all mounting shelves is at 0.04 in. (0.02 U) above a “U” division.
Table 1: Open-Frame Rack Mounting Hole Locations
Hole | Distance Above “U” Division | Large Shelf | |
|---|---|---|---|
30 | 17.26 in. (43.8 cm) | 9.86 U | X |
27 | 15.51 in. (39.4 cm) | 8.86 U | X |
24 | 13.76 in. (34.9 cm) | 7.86 U | X |
21 | 12.01 in. (30.5 cm) | 6.86 U | X |
18 | 10.26 in. (26.0 cm) | 5.86 U | X |
15 | 8.51 in. (21.6 cm) | 4.86 U | X |
12 | 6.76 in. (17.1 cm) | 3.86 U | X |
9 | 5.01 in. (12.7 cm) | 2.86 U | X |
6 | 3.26 in. (8.3 cm) | 1.86 U | X |
3 | 1.51 in. (3.8 cm) | 0.86 U | X |
2 | 0.88 in. (2.2 cm) | 0.50 U | X |
