I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that the mounting brackets are
part of the standard DELNI, or if you ordered them as an accessory
with the DELNI.

When we ordered our DELNI, a seperate part number was given for the
rack mounting kit (in the installation manual). When I called back
to order this kit, much confusion resulted. I finally received a
phone call from the distributor (about a week later) who said the
rack mounting kit was no longer available from DEC.

So... If I was to crack the DELNI open would I find the necessary
parts inside? If not, does anyone know if DEC still supplies these
brackets?
