Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using Front and Rear Mounting Brackets

The device can also be mounted in a 19-inch rack, using optional, rear-mounting brackets, in addition to the front-mounting brackets. The rear-mounting brackets provide extra weight support for the chassis. The rear-rack mounting brackets attach the rear of the chassis to the two rear-mounting posts.

Depending on the depth of the rack in which you are installing the device, you can order one of the following rear-mounting brackets, which differ in length, from AudioCodes as a Rear-Rack Mounting Bracket Kit accessory item (separate orderable item):

■

Adjustable rear-mounting bracket from 59.3 to 62.7 cm (23.3 to 25 in.). The length of the rear-mounting brackets can be adjusted from 593 to 627 mm, to suit the distance between the chassis and the rear post. The customer part number (CPN) of this kit is M1KB-REAR-RMK-60.

To mount the device in a 19-inch rack with front- and rear-mounting brackets:

1.

Open the Rear Mounting Bracket kit and remove its contents. Make sure that all the items are included in the kit (see above).

2.

Attach the two rear-mounting brackets to the two-rear rack posts, using two screws (not supplied) per bracket. Make sure that you attach the brackets at the same height level in the rack. See the following figure for correct orientation of the brackets when attaching them to the posts.

6.

Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the rear-mounting flanges to the rear-mounting brackets. Insert the supplied screws (6-32 x 5/16 inch) from the inside of the rack, through the flange's grid and into the screw hole on the rear-mounting bracket. Finger-tighten the screws but make sure that the screws are NOT fully tightened and that the flange can freely move on the slide rails of the rear-mounting bracket.
