Rack Mounting
The DRM-R1 is a standard 19 inch wide 2-RU tall wide rack mount frame.The three smaller
sized Mini-Converters fit within that height, and can be rack mounted with other gear
immediately above the DRM-R1. However, the largest size Mini-Converters extend above
the 2-RU chassis height. Additional empty space above the DRM-R1 frame is required for
these largest Mini-Converters (
).

Two types of hold-down brackets are available:
• A double mounting bracket that secures two smaller converters

• Short standoffs for smaller FiDOs and others of the smallest sized converters (uses the
double mounting bracket)
• Medium standoffs for the HI5, HA5, and others of the next sized converters (uses the
double mounting bracket), and for the UDC and others of the larger sized converters
(uses the single mounting bracket)
• Long standoffs, for FIDO-4, ROI and other of the largest sized converters (uses the
single mounting bracket)
