APPENDIX D: PARAGON II RACK MOUNT 115
Appendix D: Paragon II Rack Mount
Paragon II User Stations and most matrix switches can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4 cm) of
vertical space in a standard 19" equipment rack, except that P2-UMT1664M matrix switch shall
be mounted in 2U (3.5", 8.9 cm) of space. To rackmount a matrix switch, use the brackets and
screws that came with the unit; to rackmount a User Station, use Raritan’s RMKSMU rackmount
kit. (If you lose or damage a matrix switch’s brackets, replace them with the RMKSM1 kit for
any 1U matrix switch or RMKSM2 for a P2-UMT1664M.) You can mount a matrix switch or
User Station facing the front of the rack or facing the rear.
Forward Mount
1. Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side brackets using two of the included
screws.
2. Slide the User Station or matrix switch between the side brackets, with its rear panel facing
the cable-support bar, until its front panel is flush with the “ears” of the side brackets.
3. Secure the User Station or matrix switch to the side brackets using the remaining included
screws (three on each side).
4. Mount the entire assembly in your rack and secure the side brackets’ ears to the rack’s front
rails with your own screws, bolts, cage nuts, etc.
5. When you attach cables to the connectors on the rear panel of the User Station or matrix
switch, drape them over the cable-support bar.
