To mount the appliances to an equipment rack, you also need a #2 screwdriver with a cross-headed tip. There are three ways to rack mount the PT-2200:

• Two-post rack mount, as described in Two-Post Rack Mount.
• Four-post rack mount, as described in Four-Post Rack Mount .
• Adjustable rail four-post rack mount, as described in Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mount.

Adjustable Rail Four-Post Rack Mount

Infoblox offers an adjustable four-post rail kit providing 600mm to 900mm depth adjustment. It is designed to allow one person to perform the physical installation of the rack 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 2U or even 1U of available rack space.
The adjustable rail kit includes the following items for installation:

• Eight (8) Flat-head beveled 8/32" screws that attach rail pieces to the appliance chassis
• Eight (8) Phillips-head 10/32" screws for affixing the rack rails to the four-post rack

The technician must provide four attachable cage nuts for adapting the square mounting holes on the rear posts of the four-post rack to accept the 10/32" screws.
To install the adjustable rail kit, do the following:

1. Install the cage nuts in the rear rack posts in the desired location, as indicated in Figure 10.

Figure 10 Install cage nuts on the rear posts of the designated rack space

2. Fasten the catch tab of the rack rail on the front of the rack space designated for the appliance. Each rack rail (2) in the adjustable rail kit provides a metal catch tab on the front end of the rack rail. This catch tab fastens to a square mounting hole as shown in Figure 11.

3. Extend the rack rail assembly backwards, align the mounting holes on the chassis slide rails with the required cage nuts, and fasten the back end of the rack rail to the two cage nuts on the rear post of the designated space. As noted, the rack rail assembly has an extension range from the minimum of 600mm to a maximum of 900mm.

4. Perform Steps 2 and 3 for the second rack rail assembly.

5. Attach the chassis slide rails to each side of the chassis with four (4) flathead 8-32 screws, as shown in Figure 12 (the figure is for an Infoblox PT-1400 appliance).
