Installing the Rack Mount Flanges

The following procedure describes how to install rack mount flanges on the Acme Packet 1100 for use in front-mounting the chassis in a 2- or 4-post chassis rack.

To install rack mount flanges:

  1. Locate the following components:

    • Rack mount flanges (2)

    • #6-32 x 5/16" screws with square cone washers (4)

  2. On the right side of the Acme Packet 1100 chassis, align the holes in the rack mount flange with the two holes toward the front of the chassis.
