8Optional Accessories Installation
8.1General Accessory Installation
There are many accessory products available for the Allegiant Series, including key- boards, alarm interface units, control code signal distribution units, etc. If applicable, these products can be installed at the same time as the main CPU bay installation, or postponed until later. In some cases, products are designed to be racked in close proximity to the main CPU bay, so appropriate rack space should be reserved.
Please refer to the instructions supplied with the specific accessory product for com- plete installation details.
