Mounting 2U xx80 and 9800 appliances
This section describes how to mount the 2U xx80 appliances in a standard 19-inch, four-post rack.
2U xx80 sliding rail kit
• 2 sliding rails
• 1 sliding rail screw kit: 8 M5 screws, 8 M5 washers, 2 M5 black screws
Sliding rail screws
Four M5 screws with washers are included in the rail kit. Do not lose the M5 washers. When you attach the outer rails to a square hole rack, you must use the M5 screws and the washers. The outer rails are installed behind the rail posts with square holes. You must use the provided washers as they have a funnel shape that fits perfectly in the square hole rack.
