RACK MOUNT OPTION INSTALLATION

OVERVIEW

This section contains the procedures for installing a CT-100B chassis in a standard 19” relay rack. The available rack mounting options are:

Option 52 – Rack Mount Ear Kit

Option 53 – Rack Mount Door Kit

Option 57 – 20” Slide Kit

Option 58 – 24” Slide Kit

The rack mount ear kit provides the basic hardware necessary to rack mount the CT-100B chassis. Because the chassis is only 15” wide, standard rack support rails cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis. If the equipment mounted below the CT-100B cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis, either 20” or 24” slides will be required to support the chassis in the rack. The rack mounting ears are designed to allow the chassis to be flush mounted in the rack or recessed 4”.

The rack mount door kit provides the necessary hardware to install either a 1/8” thick aluminum door or a 1/8” thick acrylic door in front of the rack mounted chassis. These options require that the rack mount ear kit also be installed and configured for recessed mounting. The door may be customer modified to hold connectors, controls, indicators and similar components.

The 20” and 24” slide kits provide the ability to easily remove the chassis from the rack for servicing and provides mechanical support for the chassis when installed in the rack. The 20” slide kit is used when the chassis is flush mounted in the rack. If the chassis is to be recess mounted, then the 24” slides are required.
