This section describes how to install the
IE2100 Series in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
A rack-mount kit is included for mounting the

two unobstructed outer posts.
Note
You can place the system on a desktop or other
flat, stable surface. Self-adhesive rubber feet are
provided for this purpose.

The following guidelines are
provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of
the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled
rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top
with the heaviest component at the bottom of
the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices,
install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
