Caution: Never use the front rack-mount brackets (included with the
AVU1500) alone to rack-mount the AVU1500, as they are designed only to
lock the AVU1500 to the front of the rack. To safely mount the AVU1500
in an equipment rack, use the Belkin Heavy-Duty Fixed Shelf (part number
RK5021). The Belkin Heavy-Duty Fixed Shelf is compatible with standard
19-inch equipment racks, but if you do not use the Belkin Heavy-Duty Fixed
Shelf, you must mount the AVU1500 on an equipment shelf designed for
your equipment rack.
