Industrial 19" CRT Monitor Rack Mounting Procedure Step 1 - Locate the mounting areas: You must allocate the required space in your enclosure for the monitor. The monitor’s panel height is 9 rack units (15.75 in. or 400 mm) and you must determine if panel spacers are required above or below the monitor.
Page 18
Industrial 19" CRT Monitor Note: Clearance between the inside edges of the front mounting rails is nominally 17.75 in. (451 mm) for standard cabinets. This clearance can vary somewhat and might or might not be adjustable. Ensure that the clearance is at least 17.65 in.
Page 19
Industrial 19" CRT Monitor 4. Repeat these steps to mount the stationary section of the other slide to the front and rear mounting rails on the opposite side. 5. Measure the space between the inside edges of the stationary slides to determine the clearance.
