Rack Mounting
The supplied rack mount kit includes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these assemblies
consist of three sections: an inner fixed rail that secures to the recorder frame, an outer rack
rail that secures directly to the rack itself, and two rail brackets that also attach to the rack
(see figure 39).

Figure 39. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
To install the recorder into a rack, follow the steps below.
1. Remove the inner rail by pulling it out as far as possible. The locking tab should lock the
rail and make a clicking noise when fully extended. Depress the locking tab to pull the
inner rail completely out. Do this for both assemblies (one for each side).
NOTE: The rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock
the recorder in place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. Secondly,
these tabs lock the recorder in place when fully extended from the rack to prevent
pulling the recorder completely out of the rack.
2. Place the recorder on its side (horizontally) on a hard surface with the cover latch
facing up.
3. Remove the top and right covers by first removing the screws that secure them to the
frame. Depress the button on the top of the frame to release and remove the cover.
Remove the screws from the feet and remove them from the frame (see figure 40).
