Mounting the FortiGate-7000F chassis in a two-post rack
The FortiGate-7000F package includes two mid mount trays and two mid-mount brackets that you can use to mount the
chassis in a 2-post rack. As shown in the diagram, first attach the mid-mounting brackets to the chassis, them attach the
mid mount trays to the rack, making sure to leave enough space above the trays for the chassis. Then place the chassis
on the mid-mount tray. Then, use rack mount screws to attach the mid-mount brackets to the rack posts, securing the
chassis in the rack.
