Space Planning
All Kaleidescape components, except the Speed Reader, fit in standard 19
inch racks and ship with removable mounting brackets.
Note: Mini players also fit in a 19 in. rack when mounted on an optional Mini
Player Rack-Mount Shelf.
When planning the site, the following criteria must be met:
• Components must have adequate ventilation
• All components require a 1 inch clearance in front and a 2 inch
clearance at the back
• Front grilles must be unobstructed
Some components need more space if the rack has a front door.
• The 3U Server front panel opens outward from the top.
• The 1U Server has a removable front panel for disk cartridge access
• M500 Players, Music Players, and Mini Systems have disc trays that
must be able to eject unobstructed.
Power Supplies
Kaleidescape component power supplies are universal input and operate on
any nominal line voltage between 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz.
Power outlets must be grounded and preferably shielded from power surges
and brownouts. Kaleidescape recommends a high-quality surge protector
