Mounting the IPL T Interface

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, mount the interface on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20)

(figure 2-1) or a standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2-2). On the standard rack shelf, the interface mounts in one of four locations to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the rack.

1.	If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the IPL T
	unit, remove them.
2.	Mount the interface on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x
	3/16” screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the
	interface to the shelf.
3.	Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
4.	Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
	with those in the rack.
5.	Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine
	screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the
	rear of the rack.
