Mount the NFX250
You can mount an NFX250 device on two posts of a 19-in. rack by using the mounting brackets provided with the device.
The device weighs approximately 9.4 lb (4.3 kg). Two persons are required for mounting the device.
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
NOTE:
If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom and mount the
others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.
2. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the
building structure.
3. Align the mounting brackets along the front or rear of the side panels of the chassis— depending on whether you will
front-mount or rear-mount the device—and attach the mounting brackets to the chassis by using the mounting screws.
Tighten the screws.
4. Have one person grasp both sides of the device, lift the device, and position it in the rack, aligning the mounting bracket
holes with the threaded holes in the rack rail. Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack
rail, making sure that the chassis is level.
5. Have the second person use the mounting screws (and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them) to screw the
mounting bracket to the rack.
