Parts List
Assembly Procedure
1) Place the chassis on a protected work surface with its input connectors facing front.
2) Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install the rack ears (P/N: 41-0482-009 and 41-0493-011) on
the front of the EX1202A using five (5) 6-32 x 3/8” flat head Phillips stainless steel screws
(P/N: 37-0114-025) for each rack ear. Note that the “Optional Mounting Locations” in
Figure 2-6 allow the EX1202A to be installed in a rack either flush or recessed.
3) Next, attach the unit support brackets (P/N: 41-0482-010) to the EX1202A using two (2) 6-32
x 3/8” pan head Phillips SEMS screws (P/N: 37-0028-037) for each bracket (see Figure 2-6).
4) Place the rear rack support brackets (P/N: 41-0482-011) on the inside of the unit support
brackets installed in step 3 and loosely secure them using two (2) 8-32 x 3/8” pan head
Phillips SEMS screws (P/N: 37-0073-037) and two (2) KEPS hex nuts (P/N: 37-0200-832)
per bracket. Loosely installing the hardware will allow the rear support bracket to adjust to the
proper length once installed in a rack.
5) Place the EX1202A in the desired rack slot and secure the front rack ears with hardware
provided with the rack. Once the front bracket are secured, slide the rear support brackets so
that they can be attached to the rack as well. After securing the rear support brackets, tighten
the screws and KEPS nuts installed in step 4.
