Hardware Installation

Standard Rack Mounting

1. Please use the included standard rack mounting kit to mount the GCL1900W in a rack with a depth of 16.5″-28.3″

   Please contact your sales representative for additional screws or cage nuts

2. Attach the left and right mounting brackets to the back of the rack, installing four screws into the tabs to secure the brackets in place
   

3. While one person inserts the GCL1900W into place by sliding its left and right sidebars into the mounting brackets (on the rack), have the second person install four screws in the front tabs to secure the module to the front of the rack
   Note: Please allow at least 2″ on each side for proper ventilation and at least 5″ at the back for the power cord and cable clearance
