Rackmounting

KD 6176 can be mounted in a 1U
system rack. For convenience and flexibility, a rackm
mounting kit, that allows several mounting options is provided
with your KD 6176 package. The various options are ex­plained in the sections that follow.

Stadard Rack Mounting

The standard rack mounting brackets that come
attatched to KD 6176 allow the unit to be installed in stan­dard 1U racks. if the unit can fit into your rack “as is,” simply
slide it into the rack and screw it securely in place.

Optional Rack Mounting

If there is not enough clearance for the unit to slide
into the rack when the rear flanges face outward, the problem
can be resolved with the following procedure:

1. Unscrew the rear mounting brackets from the chassis.

2. Turn the brackets so that the flanges face inward; then
screw them back into the chassis.

Note: Be suer to leave a 12mm gap between the flange and
the rear of the chassis in order to have enough room to screw
the tab to the flange.

3. Slide the unit into the rack.

4. Screw the metal tabs to the rear flanges.

5. Secure the unit to the rack with the front flanges and rear
tabs.

KD 6176 can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation
using the optional 2-Post Rack mount Kit KD 6176. The
mounting hardware allows for the consoles to be opened with
the drawer in any position. Heave-duty 14-gauge steel
provides stability and prevents console frame from twisting.
