Figure 3: Attaching a mounting bracket with cable guides
To attach each mounting bracket to the G350:
1
Position a bracket over the desired mounting position. 
2
Affix the bracket to the chassis with three of the nine 6-32 x 3/8 screws provided.
3
Tighten with the screwdriver.
The G350 is held in place by mounting screws through the two mounting ears. To avoid balancing 
problems and cabling complications, the racks should be filled from the bottom; that is, mount units in 
the lower positions first.
Before mounting the G350, check for the following:
Ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and is earthquake-protected, if required. If the rack is not 
securely fixed in place, do not proceed with the installation.
If the G350 is being mounted in a rack with other equipment already installed, the G350 must be 
positioned to avoid imbalance. 
The G350 is shipped with 3 sets of four mounting screws. Choose the set of screws that match the 
screw holes in the rack being used. 
The G350 weighs 22.5 pounds (10 kg) empty and between 33 and 35 pounds (between 15 and 
16 kg) when equipped with media modules. Two people may be needed to mount the G350 Media 
Gateway in the rack.
To mount the G350 in the rack:
1
Position the G350 in the rack. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
2
Verify that the screw holes are aligned with the rack hole positions.
3
Insert two mounting screws on each side. 
4
Tighten the mounting screws. Avoid overtightening.
5
Verify that ventilation vents are not obstructed.
