APPENDIX D: PARAGON II RACK MOUNT 89

Appendix D: Paragon II Rack Mount

Paragon II User Stations and most Base Units can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4 cm) of vertical

space in a standard 19" equipment rack; P2-UMT1664M Base Units can be mounted in 2U (3.5",

8.9 cm) of space. To rackmount a Base Unit, use the brackets and screws that came with the unit;

to rackmount a User Station, use the RMKSMU rackmount kit. (If you lose or damage a Base

Unit’s brackets, replace them with the RMKSM1 kit for any 1U Base Unit or RMKSM2 for a P2-

UMT1664M.) You can mount a Base Unit or User Station facing the front of the rack or facing

the rear.

Forward Mount

1. Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side brackets using two of the included

screws.

2. Slide the User Station or Base Unit between the side brackets, with its rear panel facing the

cable-support bar, until its front panel is flush with the “ears” of the side brackets.

3. Secure the User Station or Base Unit to the side brackets using the remaining included screws

(three on each side).

4. Mount the entire assembly in your rack and secure the side brackets’ ears to the rack’s front

rails with your own screws, bolts, cage nuts, etc.

5. When you attach cables to the connectors on the rear panel of the User Station or Base Unit,

drape them over the cable-support bar.
