RACKMOUNT OPTION INSTALLATION

OVERVIEW

This section contains the procedures for installing a CT-100C chassis in a standard 19” relay rack. The available rackmounting options are:

Option 52 – Rackmount Ear Kit

Option 53 – Rackmount Door Kit

Option 57 – 20” Slide Kit

Option 58 – 24” Slide Kit

The rackmount ear kit provides the basic hardware necessary to rackmount the CT-100C chassis. Because the chassis is only 15” wide, standard rack support rails cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis. If the equipment mounted below the CT-100C cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis, either 20” or 24” slides will be required to support the chassis in the rack. The rackmounting ears are designed to allow the chassis to be flush mounted in the rack or recessed 4”.

The rackmount door kit provides the necessary hardware to install either a 1/8” thick aluminum door or a 1/8” thick acrylic door in front of the rackmounted chassis. These options require that the rackmount ear kit also be installed and configured for recessed mounting. The door may be customer modified to hold connectors, controls, indicators, and similar components.

The 20” and 24” slide kits provide the ability to easily remove the chassis from the rack for servicing and provides mechanical support for the chassis when installed in the rack. The 20” slide kit is used when the chassis is flush mounted in the rack. If the chassis is to be recess mounted, then the 24” slides are required.
