Rack mounting the system
Rack mounting the system
The ACOUSTIK system can be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack using rack
mounting screws and cage nuts. The system is 3U (units) high and the system
can be placed on top of each other within a rack. For example, using a 42U rack,
there is room to mount up to 14 Koheras ACOUSTIK systems.
Mounting recommendations
The system is equipped with hand holds next to the mounting flanges to help
balance and support the laser when you are mounting it in a rack. Further, when
a Koheras ACOUSTIK system is installed in a rack, ensure to fasten the system
using all four mounting holes in the system flanges, two holes on each side.

Caution: To avoid injury and damage, NKTP recommends that when rack mount-
ing the Koheras ACOUSTIK system two persons are present. One person can po-
sition and support the system while the other fastens it to the rack.
Front and rear rack
mounting
If the 19” rack used for the installation is deep enough, it is possible to install an
ACOUSTIK system from both the front and rear of the rack. This effectively
doubles the number of systems that can be installed in the rack. For example, up
to 28 ACOUSTIK systems can be installed in a 42U rack of this type.
