Rack System Installation
The rack system can be installed in any standard 19-inch or 23-inch
rack. The advantage of a rack system is better utilization of floor
space. Figure 5-4 on page 5-12 shows a representative front view of
the system in a rack configuration
The system can be installed without modification in a standard 19-
inch RETMA (or equivalent) equipment rack. With minor
modifications, it can also be installed on a 19-inch mast (as in
telecommunications installations), or in a 23-inch rack or mast. The
procedure is the same in all cases.
1. Remove the blank bezel from the desired rack mounting
location, if a bezel is installed.
2. Remove the bezel from the system.
3. Determine the width of the rack or mast and, if necessary,
attach a pair of mounting flanges (supplied in kit form) to
each side of the chassis in the appropriate location. Flanges
for the right and left sides are identical.
For 19-inch rack mounting, use the existing flanges formed in
the sheet metal at the forward corners of the chassis.
For a 19-inch mast installation, mount a set of flanges at the
center, narrow side out.
For a 23-inch rack or mast installation, mount the flanges
wide side out (at the forward corners for a rack, at the center
for a mast).
4. Remove the side and back panels of the rack as necessary to
gain access to the interior for chassis installation.
