Mounting the iTX Playout Appliance chassis in a rack
Included in the shipping package is a rack mounting kit, which contains the rail assemblies
and screws required to mount the iTX Playout Appliance chassis into an equipment rack.
Note that the rails are designed to fit in racks with a depth of 26” to 33.5”. Due to the heavy
weigh of the unit, the rack in which the iTX Playout Appliance will be installed should be
anchored to the building’s structure.
WARNING
iTX Playout Appliances are intended to be installed in a restricted access
location by qualified personnel. All health and safety regulations and
precautions must be observed.
Included in the shipping package are a pair of rail assemblies. Each rail assembly consists of
two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an
outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
