8.2.1 Placement of Rack-Mounting Brackets
There are two rack-mounting brackets on the CFA-24, one on each side. Each bracket is movable and may be
used to control the position of the unit in the rack.
•
The standard position is for the CFA-24 to be flush with the rack.
•
For the Protruding position, remove the mounting bracket screws holding the side rack-mounting
brackets, move the brackets toward the rear and re-install the mounting bracket screws into the new
position. The CFA-24 then protrudes 2” out from the rack.
•
For the Recessed position remove the mounting bracket screws holding the side rack-mounting
brackets, move the brackets toward the front and re-install the mounting bracket screws into the new
position. The CFA-24 then recesses 2” into the rack.
➢
Care should be taken to leave space for easy access to the back of the unit. This
area contains an access door that may need to be used at some point.
8.2.2 Mounting on a
19” Rack
The rack-mounting brackets on each side of the unit contain six holes for mounting onto a 19” rack. The
bottom of the CFA-24 should align with the half of the 0.5” space pattern (of the rack holes) that is followed
by the two 0.625” hole pattern (as shown below). Use the four (4) cage nuts at the top and bottom rack-
mounting bracket holes in the rack (that have been determined for CFA-24 attachment) and insert a screw
(provided) through the CFA-24 top and bottom rack-mounting bracket holes into the cage nut and tighten the
CFA-24 to the rack. Note: typically, #10, #12 and M6 mounting hardware is used.
