Rack Mounting Safety Requirements

The following space and airflow requirements are required for Infoblox 805 Series system operation:

...

The Infoblox appliance draws air in through the front of the chassis and expels air through the rear. Adequate ventilation is required to allow ambient room air to enter the system chassis and to be expelled from the rear of the chassis.

...

Two-Post Rack Mounting

To mount the appliance to an equipment rack and secure it at the rear rack posts:

  1. Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the rear-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
  2. Attach a rack ear on each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in Figure 5. For two-post rack mounting, the ears are placed to fix the center of the appliance at the point where the rack ears fasten to the two-post rack, preventing strain on the chassis and maintaining a center of gravity.

...

4. Attach each rack ear to the equipment rack with two (2) 10-32 screws on each side.

Four-Post Rack Mounting

...

Caution: The 600mm chassis rack rails kit provided with the Infoblox 805 Series appliance provides only a limited range of travel. It does not extend across the entire depth of the equipment rack. Exercise caution when withdrawing the appliance from its position in the equipment rack.

...

For a four-post rack mount, you combine the bundled pair of rack ears with a pair of chassis rack rails providing up to 600mm depth in a four-post rack. The chassis rack rail assembly is bundled with the appliance at time of purchase. This kit also is provided as a field-replaceable unit; for information see Replaceable Unit and SFP Part Numbers.

  1. Align the mounting holes on the rack ears with the front-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis.
  2. Attach the rack ears to each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in Figure 6.

4. Align the mounting holes on the chassis slide rails with the rear-most mounting holes on each side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 6. Ensure that you place the chassis slide rails in the correct orientation. Otherwise, the mounting holes do not align correctly.

5. Attach the chassis slide rails to each side of the chassis with two (2) 8-32 screws, as shown in Figure 6.

6. Select a desired location and secure the rack slide brackets to the rear posts of the equipment rack with two (2) 10-32 screws on each side of the rack, as shown in Figure 8.

Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mount

Infoblox provides an adjustable four-post rail kit with 600mm to 900mm depth adjustment, designed to allow one person to perform physical installation of the rail kit and the appliance.
The adjustable rail kit is designed for tight vertical spaces on the interior of a four-post rack, allowing for appliance installation in restricted rack spaces, including 1U of available rack space.
The adjustable rail kit includes the following items for installation:

...

  1. Install the cage nuts in the rear rack posts in the desired location, as indicated in Figure 9:

...
