products.

Important: 

All 2U and 3U systems must be mounted to a four-post rack; they cannot be mounted to a two-post rack.

Overview

Depending on your order, some systems require that the inner rails be attached to the chassis before they 

can be installed in a rack.

Square Post-Hole Adaptor

Rack cabinets can have square or circular holes in the vertical posts. If necessary, to accommodate standard 

screws you can convert the square post-holes to circular holes using the included square post-hole adaptors.
