Product Specifications 

Rack Mounting the IS-PLAYER-200

The Player is designed to be installed in an equipment rack, using the supplied Rack 
Mount Ears. The Player requires 2 rack-units in a standard 19” equipment rack.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The Player requires adequate ventilation. Before rack-mounting the 

Player, please read the IS-PLAYER-200/LM Rack Mounting 
Installation Guide (included with the Player).

• Before installing the Player in the rack, write down the MAC address 

which is indicated on a label on the rear of the unit (FIG. 3). You’ll need 
this information later, and once the PC is rack-mounted it may be 
difficult to view the label.

1.

Use the supplied mounting screws to attach the Rack Mount Ears to both sides 
of the Player chassis (FIG. 2)

2.

Secure the Player to the mounting rails in the rack.

Connections and Wiring

FIG. 3 describes the rear panel connectors:  

Once the Player has been installed, and all cabling connections are complete, turn it 
on and wait for content to appear on the screen before continuing to the next step. 
This may take several seconds.
