Barco PDS-4K HDMI Presentation Switcher - Manual (Page 20)

• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears, using four rack screws (not supplied). Threads may be metric
or otherwise, depending upon the rack type.
PDS– 4K units are shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the chassis.
These side rails, when they are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis (and
cable) weight within your rack. Use the following steps to properly adjust the side rails:
1. Measure and install the two supplied mounting brackets on your rear rack rails.

2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails. Remove the mounting screws that secure each
side rail to the chassis, and then adjust the spacing of each side rail as necessary. The PDS–4K uses two
mounting screws on each side rail.

3. Re-install the mounting screws. When properly adjusted, the end of each side rail will protrude through the
slot in the rear mounting bracket, once the chassis is rack mounted.
4. Lift the chassis and—while supporting it—slide the side rails through the slots in the rear mounting
brackets.
5. While continuing to support the chassis, install and tighten the two lower screws.
6. Finally, install and tighten the two upper screws in the rack rail.
Site preparation
The environment in which you install your PDS– 4K presentation switcher should be clean, properly lit, free
from static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.
Do not install the device in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that
temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
