b. Remove the screws on the bottoms of the four standoffs attached to the board. Use the same
screws to mount your SC-206X Series board to the rack chassis as shown in Figure 5-2. Put
the washers around the screws before you screw them to the rack.
Notice that the ground for the SC-206X Series board is connected to the metal standoffs
attached to the board. Rack mounting automatically grounds the board to the metal chassis.

If you are planning to use more than two SC-206X Series boards with one SC-205X Series
board, double-height mounting within one rack-mount chassis is possible. You need a
hardware kit for double-height mounting (see Optional Equipment in Chapter 1). which
consists of two brackets that mount in the rack mount. You can mount a second row of SC-
205X Series and SC-206X Series boards on these brackets the same way you mount the first
row. Figure 5-3 illustrates double-height mounting.
