• 4 bracket screws

DIN rail mounting:

• 1 DIN rail
• 1 DIN rail bracket
• 3 DIN rail screws

See the following steps to learn how to mount your Splunk Edge Hub.

Mount your Edge Hub in a 0u or 1u position using a bracket

You can mount your Edge Hub to a server rack in two positions using the provided bracket.

1. Assemble the bracket

There are two ways you can assemble the bracket for different mounting solutions on your server rack. See the following images to learn how to position the bracket pieces.

Assembling the bracket so that the Edge Hub screen faces outward is called a 0u rack mount because it uses 0 unit space on your rack.

Assembling the bracket so that the Edge Hub screen faces upward is called a 1u rack mount because it uses 1 unit of space on your rack.

Position the bracket pieces in the 0u or 1u mount arrangement according to the images above. Align the 4 holes in a square position and use the screws to attach the bracket pieces together.

2. Mount your Edge Hub to your server rack

Your server rack comes with standardized bolts to mount equipment. Use these bolts to mount your Edge Hub to your rack. Use 2 or 3 bolts for both the 0u or 1u mounting method.

Mount your Edge Hub using a DIN rail

1. Attach the Edge Hub to the DIN rail bracket

Align the 3 holes on the back of the Edge Hub with the DIN rail bracket. Use the 3 DIN rail screws to attach the Edge Hub to the DIN rail bracket.

Slide the Edge Hub on the DIN rail so that the bracket spring compresses and snaps on the rail.

To remove the Edge Hub from the rail, push the springs again to release the device.
