Rack-Mount Procedure
General
The chassis of the Event master devices (E2 and S3 series) are designed to be rack mounted. The devices are supplied with front
rackmount hardware.
Please note the following important points:
•
The E2 is 4RU in height while the S3 is 3RU in height.
•
The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40 degrees C.
•
Leave suf
fi
cient front and rear space to ensure that air
fl
ow through the unit is not restricted.
•
When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven
weight distribution.
•
Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
•
Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
•
Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied). Threads may be metric or otherwise,
depending upon the rack type.
Rack-mount procedure is different depending the Event master device type (E2 or S3).
C
AUTION
:
At a minimum, an E2 chassis weighs 31 kg (68 lbs) and a S3 chassis weighs 24 kg (53 lbs). To
avoid injury, it is recommended that two people rack mount these chassis.
How to install E2 in a rack
Use the following steps to rack mount the E2:
1. The E2 is shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the chassis. These side rails, when they
are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis (and cable) weight within your rack. Use the following
steps to properly adjust the side rails:
a) Measure and install the two supplied mounting brackets on your rear rack rails.

b) Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails. Remove the four mounting screws that secure each side rail to
the E2, and then adjust the spacing of each side rail as necessary.
