5.2. Rack Mounting Kit
All Patapsco units can be mounted in a standard 19" rack housing. To allow units to fit into a 19" rack, a Rack Mounting Kit must be
purchased for the unit(s). There are various rack mounting options depending on the size of the unit ordered. The following guide
will explain how to use the Rack Mounting Kit with Patapsco units.

[ 1] Remove the four short screws near the front or rear panel on the left and right hand sides of the Patapsco unit. The unit can be
mounted with the front panel facing forward or with the ports facing forward as required.
[ 2] Fit one of the L-Brackets to the side of the unit. The four small fixing holes allow the unit to protrude forward or sit further back
depending on the desired position of the unit. The bracket may also face forwards or backwards depending on the desired position of
the unit.
[ 3] Fix the L-Bracket in place using the Long Patapsco case screws.
[ 4] Fix the second L-Bracket to the other side of the case in the same way.
[ 5] Put the Rack Mount screws through the Rack Mount washers.
[ 6] Offer the unit up to the rack and fix it in place using the Rack Mount Screws and Rack Mount cage nuts.
