​The /dev/mount fits in square punched hole racks with EIA-310 specifications. The maximum rating per RU is 15kg (33 lbs).


Step 2:

Step 3:

Align the /dev/mount to the 19” rail with the threads facing you. Guide the /dev/mount in from behind the rail. The threads should align with the top and bottom hole of the rack unit, the hook going through the middle hole. The hook must lock with the rail.

To dismount the /dev/mount push the tip from behind towards you and then slightly inwards the network rack. The snapped-in clip should let go.


Step 8:

Remove the now lose /dev/mount from behind and take it out of the 19” rail.
