INSTALLATION
The VE-2848C-K6 panel can be mounted on a wall or in 19" or
23" relay racks with standard EIA 1.75" hole spacing. When
rack mounting, the panel can be installed so the front of it is
flush with the front of the rack, or mounted in a projected posi-
tion in the rack. The following paragraphs and Figure 3 provide
further details. Screws to attach the mounting ears to the panel
are provided, as well as screws to mount the panel to a rack.
2.1
Mounting in a 19" Rack
The panel is shipped from the factory pre-assembled. Each
panel is equipped with two, removable, L-shaped, mounting
ears (located in the bag of parts). For 19" rack mounting, the
mounting ear’s short flange attaches to the rack channel.
1.
Determine vertical position in rack.
Select the vertical
mounting location in the rack. This panel requires one ver-
tical Rack Unit (RU) in a standard Telco relay rack.
2.
Remove ears from bag.
Locate the bag of parts shipped
with the panel and remove the two L-shaped mounting
ears and the rack mounting hardware. Each ear flange has
several sets of mounting holes in it.
3.
Determine horizontal position (shelf projection).
The
mounting ears and the panel’s side flanges have several
mounting holes from which to choose, for the desired
amount of projection in the rack. If a
projected look
or ori-
entation in the rack is desired, the ears should be attached
in the last ear hole position on the panel’s side flanges, so
that the panel will be projected further forward from the
mounting ears. If a
flush look
in the rack is desired, the
mounting ears should be attached in the first or forward
ear hole position on the panel’s side flanges.
4.
Attach long flange of ear to panel.
Attach both ears to the
panel in the desired position as determined in the step
above, using the hardware provided. The ear’s long flange
abuts the panel.
5.
Attach panel to rack.
Lift the panel and attach it to the rack
channels in the correct vertical rack position. Align the
holes in the ear’s short flange with the proper holes in the
rack channels. Insert the provided screws into the aligned
set of holes, then tighten the screws. Repeat for both ears.
2.2
Mounting in a 23" Rack
The panel is shipped from the factory pre-assembled. Each
panel is equipped with two, removable, L-shaped, mounting
ears (located in the bag of parts). For 23" rack mounting, the
mounting ear’s long flange attaches to the rack channel.
1.
Determine vertical position in rack.
Determine and select
the vertical mounting location in the rack. This panel re-
quires one
vertical
Rack Unit (RU) in a standard Telco
relay rack.
