Rackmounting

The B021-000-17 is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. The various mounting options are explained in the sections that follow.

Standard 4-Post Rackmounting

The standard rackmounting brackets that come attached to the B021-000-17 allow the unit to be installed in standard 1U racks by a single individual.

Slide out the rear mounting brackets from the

console and mount both brackets (separate from the console) to the inside rear of a standard 1U rack system using user-supplied screws.

Take the console and gently slide it into the two

rear-mounted brackets in the rack and secure the console in place by inserting user-supplied screws.

NOTE: A fastening tab on each mounting bracket temporarily secures the front of the console to the rack system posts during mounting, allowing a single installer to retrieve and insert the four screws at the front of the console without assistance.

2-Post Rackmounting

The B021-000-17 can also be mounted in a 2-post rack using the optional 2-Post Rackmount Kit (model: B019-000). The mounting hardware allows for the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. The kit provides added stability and prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 manual for detailed mounting instructions.
