Crestron
RACK2
2-Series Card Cage System
NOTE:
If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop
mounting or stacking. On the underside of the unit, apply two of the feet at the rear
corners and the remaining two approximately one inch from the front corners.
NOTE:
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit. (e.g., use of power strips).
NOTE:
For proper ventilation, allow four rack spaces when mounting.
Two “rack ears” are provided with the RACK2 so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the procedure below to
attach ears to RACK2 using a Phillips screwdriver.
1. At the left-front side of the unit, position a rack ear so that its drilled
holes align with the four unused holes and secure the ear with four
supplied #6-32 screws, as shown below.

SECURE WITH
FOUR #6-32 SCREWS
PER EAR (SUPPLIED)
2. Repeat step 1 of this procedure to attach the remaining ear to the right-
front side.
Network Wiring
CAUTION:
Possible equipment damage if miswired.
NOTE:
When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring
diagram(s) appropriate to your specific system configuration, available from the
Downloads | Product Manuals | Wiring Diagrams section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).
NOTE:
Do not power up system until all wiring is verified. Care should be taken to
ensure data (Y, Z) and power (24, G) connections are not crossed.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular network run, the length of the run
and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor
of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the
power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of
the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on
the right side of the equation.
