Unpacking and Installing the Controller Installing the Chassis The controller ships with rack mounting brackets and the desktop or shelf mounting rubber feet in a separate bag. An adjustable rack-mount kit is included for mounting the controller in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. A standard equipment rack has two unobstructed outer posts, a minimum depth between the front and rear mounting posts of 13 inches (33 cm), and a maximum depth of 32 inches (81.3 cm). You can also install the controller in a 2-post equipment rack. This kit is not suitable for racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to system components. Figure 3 shows the contents of the mounting kit.
