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 twopost 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.
