Rack and Wall Mounting
You can mount the appliance in a rack or cabinet; or, using the optional wall-mounting kit, you can
mount it on a wall.
Rack mounting
To rack mount the appliance:
1. Remove the four black screws from each side of the Avocent® Universal Management
Gateway appliance. Position each bracket so it is not covering the side vents of the appliance.
Secure the mounting brackets to the appliance using the eight chrome screws supplied with
the appliance.
2. Loosely attach the two slide-rail brackets to the front of the rack using the appropriate screws
for your rack.
3. From the rear of the rack, slide the appliance into the same U position where the slide rails are
mounted. Ensure that both slide rails are securely inserted into the appliance bracket. Tighten
the rack screws for both the appliance bracket and the slide rails.
