Rack-Mounting a SCE 2000 Platform
You can mount the SCE 2000 platform to a 19” rack. There are two standard types of equipment
racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.
19” rack with front rack posts: the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated
below.
19” rack with front and back rack posts: in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated
below, the mounting kit includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.
Mounting Brackets for 2-post Rack Mounting Brackets for 4-post Rack
The SCE 2000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE
2000 The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least
17.3 inches (44 cm).
Note
Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and at the rear for
adequate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.
Because the inlet and exhaust ports (vents) for cooling air are located at both sides of the chassis,
respectively, multiple SCE 2000s can be stacked in a rack with no vertical clearance.
