Section 2.1.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RS1600 can be equipped with rack mount adapters pre-installed.
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up to 25
mm (1 in) from the face of the device.
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1.
Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct position on the chassis.

2.
Insert the device into the rack.
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channelled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack-unit
of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
3.
Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
