QUICKSTART GUIDE

The 23-inch brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approximately 21") brackets are also available for rack-mounting of the Unit. These brackets are popular in the telecommunications industry where they are a standard for central office rack-mounting purposes. The 23-inch and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment assemblies in rack-mounting frames where the rack-mount equipment is typically accessed in operation from both sides.

The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Unit permits it to be mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19", ETSI, 23") of brackets. The mounting for the 23" is illustrated above. The brackets may be attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back mounting which may reduce cabling torque.

The optional 23" brackets and the ETSI (21") brackets each come as a pair in a package, along with the necessary screws for attaching the brackets to the sides of the Unit. They must be ordered as line items.

2.3 DIN-Rail / Panel Mounting - ML1600

The Unit is designed for use in a “factory floor” industrial environment. It is available with optional DIN-rail brackets to mount it securely in a metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit. The Unit requires two DIN- rail mounting clips or latches for secure mounting – contact GE Multilin for ordering information.
