Rack-Mounting a SCE 2000 Platform

You can mount the SCE 2000 platform to a 19” rack. There are two standard types of equipment racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.

•19” rack with front rack posts: the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated below.

•19” rack with front and back rack posts: in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated below, the mounting kit includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.

Mounting Brackets for 2-post Rack Mounting Brackets for 4-post Rack

The SCE 2000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 2000 The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).

Note Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and at the rear for adequate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.

Because the inlet and exhaust ports (vents) for cooling air are located at both sides of the chassis, respectively, multiple SCE 2000s can be stacked in a rack with no vertical clearance.
