3.9 Rack-Mount Procedure

General
The chassis of the Event master devices (E2, S3 series, and EX) are designed to be rack mounted. The
devices are supplied with front rackmount hardware.
Please note the following important points:
• The E2 is 4RU in height, the S3 is 3RU in height, and the EX is 1RU in height.
• The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40° C.
Note: the maximum ambient operating temperature for EC-200/EC-210 is 35° C.
• Leave sufficient front and rear space to ensure that airflow through the unit is not restricted.
• When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may
be created by uneven weight distribution.
• Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied). Threads may be metric
or otherwise, depending upon the rack type.
Rack-mount procedure is different depending the Event master device type (E2 or S3).
CAUTION: At a minimum, an E2 chassis weighs 31 kg (68 lbs) and a S3 chassis weighs 24 kg (53
lbs). To avoid injury, it is recommended that two people rack mount these chassis.
How to install E2 in a rack
Use the following steps to rack mount the E2:
1. The E2 is shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the chassis. These side
rails, when they are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis (and cable) weight
within your rack. Use the following steps to properly adjust the side rails:
1. Measure and install the two supplied mounting brackets on your rear rack rails.
