Appendix E: Surface/Rackmounting

ServSwitch™ Summit USMs and most Base Units can be mounted in 1U (1.75",

4.4cm) of vertical space in a standard 19" equipment rack; KV1503A Base Units can be mounted in 2U (3.5", 8.9 cm) of space. To rackmount a Base Unit, use the brackets and screws that came with it; for a USM, use the RMKSMU rackmount kit. (If you lose or damage a Base Unit’s brackets, replace them with the RMKSM1 kit [for any 1U Base Unit] or RMKSM2 [for a KV1503A].) You can mount a Base Unit or USM either facing toward the front of the rack or facing toward the rear.

To mount a USM or Base Unit facing forward, as shown in Figures E-1 and E-2, take these steps (matching the step numbers to the numbers in the figures):

1.Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side brackets using two of the included screws.

2.Slide the USM or Base Unit between the side brackets, with its rear panel facing the cable-support bar, until its front panel is flush with the “ears” of the side brackets.

3.Secure the USM or Base Unit to the side brackets using the remaining included screws (three on each side).

4.Mount the entire assembly in your rack and secure the side brackets’ ears to the rack’s front rails with your own screws, bolts, cage nuts, etc.

5.When you attach cables to the connectors on the rear panel of the USM or Base Unit, drape them over the cable-support bar.
