5.16”H x 17.5"W x 34.1"D).
‣
The rack must have square mounting holes.
‣
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (36" (91.4 cm)) to enable you to install
the unit into the rack.
‣
Leave approximately 30" (76.2cm) of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
‣
Always make sure the rack is secured and stable before adding or removing the
appliance or any other component.
‣
Prepare adequate sound-proofing: The equipment fans can generate 72-100 dBA.
