for rack mounting things like this I have been using "mid-atlantic" 1u vented
rack shelves.. they can be had very reasonably.. come with a couple LARGE
velcro strips and are great for situations like this.. I use them to rack
mount Net5501's in the regular expanded net5501 cases.. the shelves are 10"
deep, fit 1u rack space and being vented you can stack them and not worry about
airflow...
this jetway box looks like it is likely something taller than 1u.. id allow 2u
for it in any rack specs but then I often allow 2 u for any CPU in a rack
anyway just for airflow...
the shelf example..

Fernando,
I'm not aware of any Jetway rack mount options, it comes with "wall mount"
rails that can be attached to the sides that angle flush with the bottom of the
unit. No doubt some metal could be fabricated to attach via the included wall
mount brackets.
If it were mounted in a rack, there would have to be air space between other
equipment.
