Tutorial: Rack the Azure Stack Edge Pro 2 using a two-post mount
Azure Stack Edge Pro 2 is the next generation of an AI-enabled edge computing device that can transfer data over the network. This device is a part of the Hardware-as-a-service solution offered by Microsoft.
The device must be installed on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the following procedure to rack mount your device on a standard 19-inch rack using a two-post mount.
