Rack Mounting
The SF-16M is designed so that it may be installed either on a shelf
or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. If rack mounting, remove
the feet and the cover screws adjacent to the front panel of the unit.
Reuse the cover screws to mount the rack adapters supplied with
the SF-16M. Be sure to place a spacer under the adapters at every
screw location. Secure the SF-16M to the rails of the equipment rack
with the screws supplied. Use appropriate chassis supports, such
as Middle Atlantic CSA Series, especially when transporting a
loaded rack.
