Physical Installation
Planning the Installation
Ventilation and Clearance
All Kaleidescape components, except the Kaleidescape M300 Player, fit
standard 19-inch racks and ship with removable mounting brackets. The
Mini Player Rack-Mount Shelf is an optional accessory kit for mounting up to
two M300 Players in a 19-inch rack.
Figure 3-1 shows minimum clearance requirements. For individual
component dimensions and weights, refer to Appendix A, Product
Specifications on page 124.
Use the following guidelines when installing system components to ensure
proper clearance and ventilation. These guidelines apply to all installations
including rack mounting.
1. Mount components in a location with adequate ventilation.
2. Check for proper grounding if installing components in a rack.
3. Maintain a 2 in. (5 cm) clearance in back, and a 1 in. (2.5 cm) clearance
in front and on the sides.
4. Ensure that front grilles are unobstructed.
5. Verify that the mounting site allows sufficient clearance for the
3U Server front panel which opens outward from the top.
6. Install the 1U Server so that the front panel can be easily removed to
access disk cartridges.
7. Verify that there is sufficient space for the Kaleidescape M500 Player,
Music Player, and Mini System disc trays to be able to slide out
completely.
