2. Place the SSR 2100 on the table, allowing at least 3” of space on each side for adequate

air flow to the cooling fans.

Rack Mount Installation

You can install the SSR 2100 in a standard 19” equipment rack. The SSR 2100 chassis

contains screw holes for front-mounting brackets.

Note:

Never attempt to rack mount the SSR 2100 unaided. Ask an assistant to help you

hold the chassis.

To install the SSR 2100 chassis in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You

need a phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.

Figure 3 shows an example of how to install the SSR 2100 in an equipment rack. The

procedure following the figure describes how to install the SSR 2100 in an equipment rack.

Figure 3. Installing the SSR 2100 chassis in an equipment rack

To install the SSR 2100 in an equipment rack:

1. If your SSR 2100 is not already equipped with rack-mounting brackets, take the

following steps. Otherwise skip to Step 2.

a. Remove the two screws that help hold the front panel of the SSR 2100 on to the

rest of the chassis. There is one screw located on each side of the chassis very near

the front of the SSR 2100. These screws will be reused to help hold the rack

mounting brackets to the SSR 2100.

b. Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of

the SSR 2100. The mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the side with

two open mounting holes is flush with the front of the SSR 2100.

c. Use the phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied phillips-head screws to attach

the mounting bracket to both the side and bottom of the chassis. (There are four

holes for each rack mounting bracket—the one on the side of the chassis that you

exposed in Step a, and three holes in the bottom of the chassis.)
