Bolt the Device to the Rack
Use the following guidelines when bolting the TippingPoint X-Series to the rack:
• If the rack comes with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit
in the rack.
• If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at
the bottom of the rack.
• If you plan to expand your system to include additional TippingPoint X-Series systems in the future,
allow space in the rack for additions. During the initial installation, keep in mind the weight
distribution and stability of the rack.
