Appendix D. Rack mounting
The Xtensys unit can be mounted in a rack using the Rackmount kits from Rose Electronics.
The optional rack mount kit includes the following items:
 Two black anodized mounting brackets.
 Four 6-32 x 3/8” flat head mounting screws.
To rack mount your Xtensys unit, attach the two rack mounting brackets to your unit with the short flange against the
unit using the four screws provided. Secure the mounting brackets to the rack using the appropriate size bolts, nuts
and lock washers. Using hardware other than that provided could cause damage to the electronics and/or result in
loss of mounting integrity. Do not over tighten the screws used to mount the unit to the mounting brackets.
The following general guidelines should be observed when installing your unit into a rack.
1. The Xtensys is designed to work in an ambient temperature of 0

C to 50

2. Units should be placed (1) rack space apart from each other and from other equipment.
3. Rack vent panels (1 space) should be installed between units to provide adequate air flow to the unit.
4. Keep front and rear doors closed on racks equipped with forced air blowers or fans.
5. Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when rack-mounting this unit.
6. Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered to prevent instability and possible tipping over.
7. Tighten all connectors securely and provide adequate strain relief for all cables.
8. Provide a grounded power source to all units. Pay special attention to overall branch circuit load ratings before
connecting equipment to this source. Overloaded circuits are potential fire hazards and can cause equipment
failures or poor performance.
