Overview

The BrightEye Rack Mount Kit is designed to accommodate any mixture of BrightEyes and
BrightEye NXTs. The rack tray occupies 1RU and can hold 3 BrightEye NXTs, or any combination of
BrightEye NXTs, single-high BrightEyes and double-high BrightEyes. Retainers fasten to the rack tray’s
right angle mounting block to hold the units securely in place. All installation can be done from the
front, so it’s easy to mount the BrightEye Rack Mount into your rack and then populate it. Blank filler
panels may be installed in unused spaces, if desired. See the illustrations below for a few examples of
how the rack can be populated.

• Remove the four rubber feet from the bottom of the BrightEye NXT. To remove, apply side
pressure with your thumb, the feet are held on with adhesive and will pop off.

Installing a BrightEye in the Rack Mount

• From the front, slide the BrightEye into position. The rear flange of the BrightEye will slide into
the slots in the back of the rack mount.

Note: Some models of BrightEyes are single-high and some are double-high. The 1RU height
of the BrightEye Rack Mount accommodates double-high BrightEyes, or two single-high
BrightEyes stacked as shown in the far left position of the illustration below. If you are installing
just one single-high BrightEye in one of the positions and a fully dressed out rack is desired, a
BrightEye single-high blank panel (BEBP) may be ordered to fill the open space.

• Choose the appropriate front retainer piece, and screw it into position with the 6-32 x 1/2”
screws provided.

Note: Two each of three different front retainers are included in your rack kit in order
to accommodate any combination of BrightEyes and NXTs. They are referred to by their
associated letter in this document for simplicity, and are listed below. Close up illustrations are

Using Blank Filler Panels in the Rack Mount

For a complete, dressed out look, blank filler panels may be installed to fill unused space in the rack
mount. Filler panels are purely cosmetic and are not required for rack stability or for proper retention of
the units in the rack. Each BERKMT-FULL kit comes with two NXT blank filler panels and two BrightEye
blank filler panels. BERKMT-RR kits do not include any blank filler panels.

The NXT blank filler panel and the BrightEye blank filler panel (both shown below) can be installed
in any of the three positions in the rack mount. If you are installing just one single-high BrightEye in
a position, a BrightEye single-high blank panel (BEBP) may be used to fill the remaining space (not
shown and not included in BrightEye Rack Mount Kits). Details for ordering blank panels are on the
following page.

Troubleshooting

There’s a gap between the blank filler panel and the side of rack mount

When the BrightEye Blank Filler Panel is installed in either the left or right position, there is an intentional
gap between the Blank Filler Panel and the side of the rack mount.

My BrightEye NXT won’t complete its power up cycle

BrightEye NXTs must be powered by their own product specific power supply that comes with each unit.
This is a 5 amp single power supply, Ensemble Designs part number 23600106, order info: BEPS-NXT.
DO NOT use a BrightEye Spider power supply (BEPS6) or a BrightEye Individual power supply (BEPS,
ED part number 23118900) to power BrightEye NXTs.
