This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before Installing in a Rack

How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the

environment is within the recommended range:

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (3 on each side), and

replace those screws through the

ear brackets.

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by

taking care that:

. It is located within the recommended

environmental conditions, as the operating

ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit

rack assembly may exceed the room ambient

temperature.

. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow

around the machine.

. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

. You do not overload the circuit(s). When

connecting the machine to the supply circuit,

overloading the circuits might have a detrimental

effect on overcurrent protection and supply

wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate

ratings for information. For example, for fuse

replacement, see the value printed on the

product label.

. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a

reliable way and is connected only to an

electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular

attention to situations where electricity is

supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not

plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a

power strip, and that you use only the power

cord that is supplied with the machine.

2. Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in

the rack ears.

Note:

In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables

or connect the machine to the

power

If you are using a Kramer rack

adapter kit (for a machine that is
not 19"), see the Rack Adapters
