capable of holding the unit.

• A minimum gap of 25mm (1inch) clearance between the rack cover and front of drawer; and 50mm
(2 inches) rear clearance between rear of drawer and rear of rack is recommended in order to
maintain the correct air flow around the enclosure.
• The rack should present a maximum back pressure of 5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge).
2.3.2 Rack Mounting Rail Kit
A set of mounting rails is available for use in 19 inch rack cabinets. These rails have been designed and
tested to handle the maximum enclosure weight and to ensure that multiple RS-1600 enclosures may be
installed without loss of space within the rack. Use of other mounting hardware may cause some loss of
rack space.
The rack mounting rail kit also incorporates a rear hold down mechanism to ensure shock and vibration
immunity.
Please contact your supplier to ensure suitable mount rails are available for the rack you are using.
