Comtrol Hub DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit - Manual (Page 2)

2 DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit Installation
The DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit can be purchased to mount the following 4-port and 8-port
DeviceMasters in a standard 19” IT rack.
• DeviceMaster PRO
• DeviceMaster RTS
• DeviceMaster Serial Hub
One DeviceMaster can be mounted on a single shelf.
The shelf mounts into a standard equipment rack and provides pre-drilled holes for mounting the
DeviceMaster. A mounting bracket for the external power supply is included with the kit.
Requirements
To install the Rackmount kit, you will need the following:
• Phillips screw driver
• 5/16” nut driver
• DeviceMaster 4/8-port installations require the brackets and screws that shipped with the
DeviceMaster.
Hardware Included
This list represents the hardware included for the Rackmount kit installation.
• One shelf
• Two brackets to mount the power supply (5801097 and 5801804)
• Four round head 5/8” phillips screws to mount the shelf in the IT rack.
• One nut that is used to secure the power supply bracket.
• Four nuts that are used to mount the DeviceMaster.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when mounting the DeviceMaster in an IT rack.
• If the DeviceMaster is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating temperature of the
IT rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the
DeviceMaster in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature
for your model.
• Make sure that the mechanical loading is level to avoid a hazardous condition; such as, loading
heavy equipment in the IT rack unevenly. The IT rack should safely support the combined weight of
all equipment in the rack.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
DeviceMaster and to protect it from overheating, maintain a minimum of 1 inch clearance on all
sides of the unit.
• AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug, which has a
grounding pin. Equipment grounding ensures safe operation. Do not defeat the grounding means
and verify that the DeviceMaster is reliably grounded when mounting within the IT rack.
