Installing a 1U PDU or console switch vertically in the rack side area

About this task

The rack cabinet comes with space on the sides to vertically mount power distribution units (PDUs) and console switches. Each rack has six locations, three on each side of the rack cabinet. To install a device in the side area, you must use flange nuts and the M6 button-head cap screws that come in the hardware kit.

Procedure

  1. Attach the two mounting brackets to the sides of the PDU or console switch. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the device.
  2. Align the holes in the mounting bracket with the holes in the rack flange.
