Industrial Monitors 13
Publication 6186M-IN001L-EN-P - July 2008
Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the monitor in a rack.
•
The height of the cabinet must accommodate the monitor’s panel height.
•
The depth of the cabinet must accommodate the monitor’s depth plus rear
clearance for cables and airflow. A cabinet depth of 74 mm (2.9 in.) is
sufficient.
Mount the Monitor in a Rack
Follow these directions to mount the monitor.
1. Place the 1200M, 1500M, or 1700M monitor in the rack adapter and attach it
to the rack adapter with the screws provided.
2. Secure the monitor or adapter to the cabinet by installing screws through the
holes in the monitor or adapter, and into the rails behind.
IMPORTANT
The mounting rails that run vertically along the inside edges of the front
opening of an EIA-rack cabinet can be of two types: wide or universal.
Wide rails have holes spaced 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) and 31.8 mm (1.25 in.) on
centers, in a repeating pattern. Wide rails are prevalent in Europe.
Universal rails have holes spaced 12.7 mm (0.5 in.), 15.9 mm (0.625 in.), and
31.8 mm (1.25 in.) on centers, in a repeating pattern. The universal rails have a
hole pattern that contains the wide pattern but provides an additional hole at
the midpoint of the pattern. Universal rails are prevalent in the United States.
