PixLite T8-S Mk2 User Manual V211013

4.3 - 19” Rack Mount

The controller can be mounted in a 19” equipment rack in either of two configurations,
both taking up a single rack unit (1RU) height.

The first option is to mount a single controller in the middle of a rack slot, as shown in

below. Use optional mounting kit (part number MNT0201) for this

configuration.

Figure 5: Single Controller Rack Mount

The second option is to mount two controllers side by side in a single rack slot, as
shown in

below. Use optional mounting kit (part number MNT0202) for this

configuration.
