QS Rule
In Raritan products that require Rack Mounting, please follow
these precautions:
Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may
be greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the
rated maximum ambient temperature of the appliances.
See Specifications
Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.
Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven
mechanical loading.
Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid
overloading circuits.
Ground all equipment properly, especially supply
connections, such as power strips (other than direct
connections), to the branch circuit.

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.

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

drape them over the cable-support bar.
