Rack or cabinet hardware installation
You may either place the platform on a rack shelf or mount the platform directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack.
The platform includes two-post rail assemblies.
WARNING: This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety,
Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific platform.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted two-post rails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
● Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment
and causing personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at
the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
● Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical
components in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded
power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
● Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the
platform.
● Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
● Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections
other than the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.
● Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.
Alternative mounting positions
How to reverse the rail mounting brackets.
If the users want to front-mount (flush-mount) the unit, remove and re-position the L-brackets with the following steps:
1. Remove 8x M3 screws on each rail assembly with number 1 Phillips screw driver.
Figure 8. Remove 8x M3
2. Reverse the small bracket. Secure bracket with 8X M3 screws. Torque to 3 In/lbs.
