Lawo representative or email

Rack-Mounting
The Compact Engine can be mounted either in a 19-inch equipment rack or on a table top.

For rack-mounting, please install supporting slide bars to hold the weight of the unit. Please check that airflow
through the device is still possible, and use the locking devices provided. For recessed rack-mounting, use
standard, third-party, 1RU recessed rack adapters such as the ones shown below. When fitting the rack
adapters and slide bars, you must make sure that there is sufficient airflow through the device for cooling.
