Single Rack Mount Kit for M2T and DSQD

TECHNICAL DATA

Installing One M2T into a Single Rack

The M2T transmitter occupies a half rack space. This
kit provides the hardware needed to mount one M2T or
DSQD into a single rack space.

NOTE: Steps 1-6 will require original mounting
hardware that came with the units. Part numbers
are included in case individual items need to be
reordered.

1. Remove the Trim Cap (Part #P1330) from both
sides of the front panel of the M2T unit to be
rack mounted.

2. Remove the breakaway tabs on both sides of the
Chassis Cover Panel. This requires the use of a
flat-blade screwdriver inserted into the slots and
levering the tabs away on each side of the unit.

4. Insert two (2) Cap Screws (Part #28885) through
the Rack Handle (Part #27082) holes and install
the Rack Handle onto the Flange Bracket through
the holes in the unit’s front panel. Firmly tighten
the Cap Screws using the long leg of the Hex
Wrench as shown.

5. Unless also installing a Front Mounted Antenna,
insert the Hole Plug (Part #35959) into the open
antenna hole in the Flange Bracket by aligning the
flat sides of the plug with those of the bracket hole
and pushing into place until flush.

3. Insert the Flange Bracket (Part #27076) into the
open slot in the left-front side of the Chassis
Cover Panel.

6. Install the Front Tie Bracket (Part #25991) into
the open slot in the right side of the M2T Chassis
Cover Panel with the protruding nuts facing rear­ward, affix with two (2) Cap Screws (Part #28885)
provided and firmly tighten with the Hex Wrench.
See next page.

NOTE: Steps 7-11 require parts from the
(RMPM2T-1) M2T Single Rack Mount Kit.

Installing One DSQD into a Single Rack

The process to install the DSQD is the same as for the
M2T transmitter through Step 7. The DSQD looks similar
to the M2T in the frontal view. Follow the steps for the
M2T, then resume at Step 8:

8. Use the Hex Wrench to remove the two (2) inboard
Cap Screws from the rear of the DSQD. Put them
aside and save for later use or spares; you will not
need them for this installation. Install the Support
Bracket (Part #27077) to the rear panel of the
DSQD, using the two (2) long mounting screws,
threaded with Spacer Tubes, and firmly tighten
with the Hex Wrench. See rear view image and
call-out photo above. The kit is designed to handle
the M2T and the DSQD with a shorter chassis, so
the spacers are included.

9. Insert two (2) Cap Screws (Part #28885) through
the Rack Handle (Part #27082) holes and install
the Rack Handle onto the right side Front Fill
Panel (Part #27081) through the holes in the
panel, and into the nuts on the Support Bracket
(Part #27076). Firmly tighten the Cap Screws
using the long leg of the Hex Wrench.

10. Unless also installing a Front Mounted Antenna,
insert the Hole Plug (Part #35959) into the open
antenna hole in the Front Fill Panel (Part #27081)
by aligning the flat sides of the plug with those of
the bracket hole and pushing into place until flush.

STEP 8

The DSQD with Front Fill Panel is now ready for
installation into a rack.

NOTE: As with the M2T, if the supplied rubber
foot/feet are installed on under side of the DSQD,
it will not fit in a single rack space.

Mounting M2T To DSQD

When mounting two M2Ts or two DSQDs together, the units lie flush together as shown. This is not the case with an
M2T and a DSQD, as the DSQD housing is shorter and the spacer tubes are needed.

Two M2T units

Two DSQD units

When attaching an M2T to a DSQD unit, the preferred configuration (when viewing from the back side) is to have the
DSQD to the left and the M2T to the right. If the units are mounted the opposite way, the mounting plate will partially
block the Dante® ports on the DSQD, making it difficult to remove the cables. Having the DSQD on the left as shown
below eliminates this inconvenience.
