• (1) Bottom plate / (2) omega brackets and (2) support

bars preinstalled

3. Tools and Materials Required

• Phillips screwdriver

4. Kit Preparation

Before installing the kit into the wire tray or ladder rack, determine the number and size of the housings to be

installed into the kit. Housing installation begins at the top of the kit.

2U Mounting Kit accepts: 4U Mounting Kit accepts:

(1) EDGE-02U (1) EDGE-04U

(2) EDGE-01U (2) EDGE-02U

(4) EDGE-01U

(2) EDGE-01U and (1) EDGE-2U

Step 1: If less than the full capacity of housings will be installed into the kit, move the support bars from

their factory-installed positions so that they are positioned just below the lowest housing that will be

supported.

Step 2: Install the kit into the wire tray or ladder rack as described in Section 5 or 6.

Step 3: Then mount the housings, beginning at the top of the kit. Ensure that the lowest housing rests on the

support bars.

5. Rackless Wire Tray Mounting Kit 2U or 4U

Figure 2

NOTE: This installation requires two people.

Step 1: The rst person places the mini-frame under the wire tray.

Step 2: The second person aligns the X axis and Z axis brackets over the wire tray in line with the slots in the

mini-frame (Figure 2).

Step 3: The rst person slides the captive screws on the underside of the mini-frame under the X and Z axis

brackets and loosely inserts the screws into the threaded nuts on the brackets.

Step 4: Adjust the kit location in the X direction (left or right) and tighten the screws in the X axis brackets

from the underside of the mini-frame.

Step 5: Adjust the kit location in the Z direction (forwards or backwards) so the housing will align with the

front of the cabinet below, if present. Consider the 4.5-in frontal projection in your calculations.

Tighten the screws on the Z brackets from the underside.

NOTE: Calculate the Z dimension carefully. Once the kit is installed, any adjustment needed along the Z axis will

require that the housing be removed.

Figure 3

Step 6: Once the kit is secured in position, install the EDGE™ housing, as applicable, or any other device that

has the ability to be installed into a 19-in rack space. Slide the housing over the support bars into the

mounting kit. The bars will hold the housing while securing the mounting brackets on each side into

the mounting holes on front of the kit. If installing only one housing, place it in the top position.

NOTE: If the lowest housing is not supported by the support bars, remove and reinstall the support bars directly

below the housing as described in Section 4.

Figure 4

Step 1: Loosen the screws as shown in Figure 4 to allow the rails to slide.

Step 2: Place the mini-frame in the middle of the cross members. Slide the omega brackets to the left and

right to lock the system in the horizontal (X) axis.

NOTE: The kit is able to move in X and Z directions.

Step 3: Adjust the kit location in the Z direction (forwards or backwards) so the housing will align with the

front of the cabinet below, if present. Consider the 4.5-in frontal projection in your calculations.

Tighten the screws on the underside of the mini-frame.

NOTE: Calculate these dimensions carefully. Once the housing is installed, any adjustment needed along the Z

axis will require that the housing be removed.

Step 4: Once the kit is secured in position, install the EDGE™ housing, as applicable, or any other device that

has the ability to be installed into a 19-in rack space. Slide the housing over the support bars into the

mounting kit. The bars will hold the housing while securing the mounting brackets on each side into

the mounting holes on front of the kit. If installing only one housing, place it in the top position.

NOTE: If the lowest housing is not supported by the support bars, remove and reinstall the support bars directly

below the housing as described in Section 4.

7. (OPTIONAL) Install CDF Bracket

An optional CDF bracket may be installed external to the housing on the frame to provide additional cable

trunk installation positions and/or strain-relief. It supports incoming cable installation from the top or bottom

of the frame into the housing. The bracket can hold keyhole cradles or U-clip furcation trunk holders (ordered

separately) and is available in three sizes:

• EDGE-CDF-RJ04-BKT — 4-position furcation trunk holder

• EDGE-CDF-RJ08-BKT — 8-position furcation trunk holder

• EDGE-CDF-RJ12-BKT — 12-position furcation trunk holder

CDF brackets support use of extender trunks. If using an IBU (vertical manager) between frames, extender

trunks mounted to the CDF bracket on the back side of the frame must transition to the front using a “pass-

through” IBU system.

Step 1: Align bracket within the same height of the 4U housing.

Step 2: Install bracket using two 12-24 screws (Figure 6). Allow enough clearance when routing trunks from

the bracket into the housing to ensure bend radius is maintained when trunks enter the housing.

NOTE: If greater bend radius control of cable is required, position the bracket slightly above or below the roof of

the housing, depending upon the direction the cable is entering the housing.

Step 3: Insert furcation plug into cradle as seen in Figure 7 and mount cradle onto CDF bracket.
