Mechanical Installation
Mounting the Kaleido-X16 in a Rack
To mount the Kaleido-X16 in a standard 19-inch rack
1 Install both support brackets at the back of the rack by using suitable screws and
washers (not included), so that the bottom of the Kaleido-X16 frame will be supported
by the brackets.
2 Position the Kaleido-X16 frame at the designated location within the rack, and secure
the front of the frame to the rack by using suitable screws and washers (not included).
Ventilation
The Kaleido-X16 multiviewer is cooled by ventilation intakes located on the front of the
frame. Fans are located in key positions within the frame:
IMPORTANT
Mobile Installation
If you are deploying your Kaleido-X16 in a mobile unit, it is your responsibility
to make sure the back of the multiviewer is securely attached to the rack. For
instance you may install a blank panel at the back of the rack, so that it meets
the top of the frame, to prevent the frame from bouncing away from the
support brackets.
Ventilation
For proper ventilation, make sure the front and side panel air vents are not
blocked and the air filter is clean.
Note:
The optional Kaleido-RCP2 may also be installed in a rack, by using
the KRCP-RK2 mounting kit.
