SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD EXTENDER

3.2 Placement

NOTE

If you’d like to put an Extender module in a space in which its rackmount-enabling endplate doesn’t fit well, or if you need to remove its endplate for whatever other reason, you can do so by unscrewing the

two end-mounted screws that hold it on.

The ServSwitch Wizard Extender’s transmitter and receiver modules are designed to be mounted in a ServSwitch Wizard Extender Chassis (ACU5000A), which in turn is designed to be mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack. To mount a module in an Extender Chassis, take these steps, referring to Figure 3-1:

1.Slide the module into the chassis with the protruding tip of its endplate pointing upwards.

2.Screw the included pan-head screw through the hole at the top of the module’s endplate and the matching hole in the front flange of the chassis in order to secure the module to the chassis.

To mount the chassis itself, hold its side flanges against the vertical rails of your rack, then use four of your own screws, bolts, cage nuts, etc., to secure the flanges to the rails.
