BrightEye Rack Mount User Guide
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.

three holes so that it can be flipped 180 degrees
