The G700 can stand on a flat surface or be mounted in the standard 19-inch rack. If the G700 is
to be mounted in a rack, you have the choice of fastening the unit to the rack either at the front
of the unit or at the middle. This positioning choice will depend on space arrangements. In either
case, mounting brackets must be attached to the sides of the chassis, either at the center or to
the front of the chassis.

Mounting the G700 media gateway in the rack
The G700 Media Gateway mounts in a standard 19-inch rack. It is held in place by screws
through the two mounting ears. The unit can be mounted either in the center of the unit or at the
front of the unit; however, only the front mount allows use of the guides for electrical cables. To
avoid balancing problems and cabling complications, the racks should be filled from the bottom;
that is, mount units in the lower positions first.
