Installing a DFR-8300 Series Frame
This section outlines how to install a DFR-8300 series frame. The same procedure is used to install a
frame regardless of the model of frame unless otherwise noted.
DFR-8300 Series Frame Overview
The DFR-8300 series frame mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through
the front mounting ears. This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of
accompanying cables. However, in certain applications such as mobile truck installations, it may be
desirable to also support the rear of the frame. The optional Rear Support Bars and Brackets are
specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress. Refer to the section “Rear Support Bars
and Brackets” on page 2-4 for installation instructions.
Note that the frame installs in a standard 19” rack:
• Rack Units: 2 RU
• Height: 3.5” (8.89cm)
• Depth:
o DFR-8310 frames — 15.625” (40cm)
o DFR-8321 frames — 17” (43.18cm)
• Width: 19” (48.26cm)
Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as to allow adequate
ventilation. Ensure that adequate space exists behind the frame and on the right side of the frame for
airflow exhaust. The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
