Rack Mounting

The KX II can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4 cm) of vertical

space in a standard 19" equipment rack.

Note: The Raritan device depicted in the rack mounting

diagrams is for example purposes only and may not depict

your device. The mounting instructions are specific to your

Forward Mount

The steps correspond to the numbers shown in the front

rackmount diagrams.

1. Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side

brackets using two of the included screws.

2. Slide the KX II 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 KX II 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, and so on.
