Install the Four-Post Rack Kit on a PA-5200 Series Firewall
Learn how to install the optional four-post rack kit.
The following procedure describes how to install
the optional four-post rack kit (PAN-PA-5200-RACK4) to provide additional
support to the back of the firewall. This kit supports rack depths from
23 to 32 inches (measured between the inner-parts of the vertical
rails).
- Attach one rack-mount bracket to each side of
the firewall in the front-mount position using nine #8-32 x 5/16”
screws for each bracket and torque to 15 in-lbs.

- Attach one rack-mount rail to each side of the firewall
using four #8-32 x 5/16” screws for each bracket and torque to 15
in-lbs. The side brackets are universal but you must install them
with the beveled edge facing the firewall.

- With help from two other people, hold the firewall in
the rack and secure the rack-mount brackets to the front rack posts
using four screws for each bracket. Use the appropriate screws (#10-32 x
3/4” or #12-24 x 1/2”) for your rack and torque to 25 in-lbs. Use
cage nuts (not provided) to secure the screws if the rack has square
holes.

previously installed side rack-mount rails and secure the brackets
to the back rack posts using four screws for each bracket (#10-32
x 3/4” or #12-24 x 1/2”) and torque to 25 in-lbs. Use cage nuts
(not provided) to secure the screws if the rack has square holes.
