Cable Tray Rack Mounting

To install the concentrator in a rack, first install the cable tray and then install the concentrator above the tray. The cable tray can be mounted in four separate configurations in your rack depending on your preference. The options are described in Table 2-2 and shown in Figure 2-2.

Table 2-2. Rack Mount Settings

Option	Rack Setting	Function
1	Flush Mount	Flush mounts the unit to the front of
		the rack.
2	1/2" Recess	Recesses the unit 1/2" (1.3 cm) from
		the front of the rack.
3	2 1/8" Recess	Recesses the unit 2 1/8" (5.4 cm) in
		a rack.
4	2 3/4" Recess	Recesses the unit 2 3/4" (7.0 cm) in a
		rack.

Note: The ONline System Concentrator is 18.3" (46.5 cm) deep. Some shallow rack cabinets may only allow you to flush mount the unit. In addition, make sure you mount the unit so that cables connected to the media modules have enough room to bend (especially important for fiber cables).
