Mounting Cisco FPR-2110 using rack-mount brackets and or slide rails

[jbudin]

Hello Cisco Community,

Perhaps I am in the wrong forum. However, I wanted to ask roughly, is it acceptable to mount a FPR-2110 into an Ortronics 4 post rack using rack-mount brackets alone?

I am thinking that it will be top-heavy and lean down in the back. Following this guide, it notes that the slide rails are optional: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/2100/hw/guide/b_install_guide_2100/mount_and_connect.html

Otherwise, I'm thinking we'll get the FPR2K-SLIDE-RAILS (Slide rail kit) to ensure the firewall is mounted securely.

S/N of Otronics rack: OR-MM67SVR

I appreciate any and all guidance.

Thank you,

-Jake B.

Bump

Am I better off using slide rails, or just the mount-brackets alone (which might cause the firewall to lean down a little bit) ?

Another bump

Does anyone in this forum have experience mounting Cisco firewalls into a rack, and could suggest best practice?

Thanks very much
