RACK MOUNTING GUIDE
Rack-Mounting the Webcache
The Webcache is 1U high and will fit in most standard
19-inch rack mounts.
CAUTION: The rear of the Webcache must be
supported. This is best achieved through the use of a
19-inch 4-posted rack.
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the Webcache
before continuing.
You must use the rack-mounting rails and screws
supplied with the Webcache. Damage caused to the
Webcache by using incorrect rails and screws
invalidates your warranty.
A Rack-Mounting Kit is supplied with the Webcache
which contains the items shown in Figure 1. The
rack-mounting rails and rack-mounting brackets are
attached to the Webcache. The adjustable brackets and
screws are contained within the Webcache packaging.
