Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using Front-Mounting Brackets Only
You can mount the device in a 19-inch rack, by attaching it to the rack's frame, as described
below.
● At least two people are required to mount the device in the 19-inch rack.
● For extra support for the chassis, you can also mount the device in the rack using
optional, rear-mounting brackets (separate orderable item). For instructions, see
Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using Front and Rear Mounting Brackets.
(French) Avertissements: Au moins deux personnes sont nécessaires pour monter
l’appareil dans le bâti 19 pouces.
➢ To mount the device in a 19-inch rack using front-mounting brackets:
1. With two people, lift the chassis into the rack from the front of the rack.
2. Hold the chassis for support while the second person positions the chassis so that the front-
mounting brackets are flush against the front rack posts and that the holes of the brackets
align with the holes on the posts.
Make sure that the left and right front-mounting brackets are attached at the same
level in the rack posts so that the chassis is supported in a horizontal position.
3. Hold the chassis in position while the second person secures the two front-mounting
brackets to the front posts, using 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied) to the rack posts.
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.
