Installing the Rack-Mount CP 3100 in a Rack
The rack-mount CP 3100 is a low-profile 1U rack-mount device that is mounted horizontally in an
appropriate rack. Shut down the computer and remove the power supply cable. Then mount the
rack-mount CP 3100 in a Certance-recommended rack-mount slide, such as Accuride or General
Devices.

or the ventilation slots on the back of the rack-mount.
NOTE. The following connectors on the back panel of the rack-mount CP 3100 are not used:
