How to install VERTIV Mounting Rail Kit for Network Gateway

Follow these general steps to install the VERTIV Mounting Rail Kit for the RDU301 gateway in a compliant and safe manner. Ensure you are working in a suitable enclosure or rack with a standard DIN rail and that power to the gateway is turned off before beginning installation.

• 1) Prepare the enclosure and DIN rail: Ensure the enclosure is clean, stable, and equipped with a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Verify there is adequate clearance for cable routing and service access after installation.
• 2) Attach the mounting rail components: Secure the mounting rail or mounting brackets to the DIN rail using the provided fasteners. Confirm that the rails are level and firmly seated to prevent vibration or movement during operation.
• 3) Align the RDU301 gateway: Position the RDU301 gateway so its mounting interface matches the DIN rail and the kit’s mounting points. Ensure there is sufficient space for connectors and ventilation around the gateway.
• 4) Secure the gateway: Attach the RDU301 gateway to the mounting rail kit using the included screws or retention mechanism. Tighten to the recommended torque without over-tightening, to avoid damaging the gateway or mounting hardware.
• 5) Route cabling and power: Connect network, power, and any management interfaces as required. Neatly route cables to minimize strain and ensure they do not interfere with airflow or access to the gateway. Restore power and verify operation.
• 6) Verify functionality: Power on the gateway, confirm network connectivity, and ensure the gateway communicates securely with the Vertiv cloud services. If necessary, use the vIntelligence app and portal to validate that data flows are stable and bandwidth usage remains within expected parameters.
