Planning the Installation (continued…)
WARNING: In order to provide stability to t he rack, systems should
first be installed from the bottom, with the heaviest components
located in the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided w ith
stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
A location for the system chassis should be planned taking these r estrictions into
consideration.
Spacing and Airflow
Allow, at a minimum, 2-3“ of space around each side of the sy stem, and 3-4” of
space in the rear of the system. This allows adequate airflow to cool the system.
The air temperature within the rack enclosure should not exceed 92˚F (50˚ C).
Power Supply
The system requires a source of AC power (100-240V, 50-60 Hz, 230W) routed to
the rear of the system. All other controls and w iring connections are located on the
front panel of the system.

Installing the System Chassis into the Rack
Follow these steps to install the system chassis in an open rack that enables you
to slide the chassis in from the front.
Step 1: Position the chassis in the rack as follows:
Step 2: Use your tape measure and level to ensure that the supporting shelf and
the chassis are installed straight and level.
Step 3: Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed.
Step 4: Slide the unit into the rack and position using the att ached L brackets so
that the slots in the brackets are positioned ov er the appropriate
mounting holes in the side rails of the rack.
Step 5: Securely fasten the unit into the rack by using the four 10-32 x 0.5
screws which are supplied with the rack mount kit, installing two of the
screws on each side of the unit. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
screws.
This concludes the rack mount installation.

Introduction
This manual describes the procedures to retrofit Sierra M6-2, SierraFC M8-4, and
Voyager M3i systems for rack mounting at your site.
The rack mount kit included is for securing t he any of the systems mentioned above
in an EIA 310-D 19-inch equipment rack.
Two L brackets, which are attached (as shown in this document) to the front or back
of the Hamilton chassis, connect t he chassis to the mounting posts of the rack.
Some racks provide a power strip along the length of one of t he rear posts. I f your
rack has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener
points, and before you install the L brackets on the chassis, determine whether you
will install the chassis from the front or the rear of the r ack.
