This procedure describes how to install the Firepower 2100 series in a rack using
slide rails. It applies to all models of the 2100 series. It ships with the
Firepower 2130 and 2140 chassis; it is optional for the 2110 and 2120. For the 2110
and 2120, you install three screws on the chassis to secure the slide rail. For the
2130 and 2140, you use the pegs on the chassis to secure the slide rail. See Product ID Numbers for a list of the PIDs associated with racking
the chassis.
You can install the optional cable management bracket on all models of the 2100 series. The
optional cable management bracket kit comes with two cable management brackets and
four 8-32 x 0.375-inch screws.
The rack is a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack. It is a
4-post-EIA-310-D, which is the current revision as specified by EIA. The vertical
hole spacing alternates at .50 inches (12.70 mm) to .625 inches (15.90 mm) to .625
inches (15.90 mm) and repeats. The start and stop space is in the middle of the
.50-inch holes. The horizontal spacing is 18.312 inches (465.1 mm), and the rack
opening is specified as a minimum of 17.75 inches (450 mm).
