Before Installing in a Rack

How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the 
environment is within the recommended range:

To rack-mount a machine:
1
.  Attach both ear brackets to the 
machine. To do so, remove the 
screws from each side of the 
machine (3 on each side), and 
replace those screws through the 
ear brackets.

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by 
taking care that:

.  It is located within the recommended 

environmental conditions, as the operating 
ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit 
rack assembly may exceed the room ambient 
temperature.

.  Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow 

around the machine.

.  The machine is placed straight in the correct 

horizontal position.

.  You do not overload the circuit(s). When 

connecting the machine to the supply circuit, 
overloading the circuits might have a detrimental 
effect on overcurrent protection and supply 
wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate 
ratings for information. For example, for fuse 
replacement, see the value printed on the 
product label.

.  The machine is earthed (grounded) in a 

reliable way and is connected only to an 
electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular 
attention to situations where electricity is 
supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not 
plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for 
example, when using an extension cable or a 
power strip, and that you use only the power 
cord that is supplied with the machine.

2.  Place the ears of the machine 
against the rack rails, and insert the 
proper screws (not provided) 
through each of the four holes in 
the rack ears.
Note: 

In some models, the front panel 

may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be 

removed for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the 

rack before you attach any cables 
or connect the machine to the 
power 

If you are using a Kramer rack 

adapter kit (for a machine that is 
not 19"), see the Rack Adapters 
user manual for installation 
instructions available from:
