2.1.1 Rack Mounting
The RS416 can be rack mounted using the included rack mount adapter assemblies
shown in Figure 3. Secure the one rack mount adapter to the front of each side of the
chassis using the included black PAN head Phillips screws in the positions shown in
Figure 4. The entire chassis can then be mounted to a standard 19” rack. An additional
two rack mount adapters are included to optionally secure the rear of the chassis in high-
vibration, or seismically active locations.

NOTE: Since heat within the RS416 is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack
unit of space (1.75”) be kept unpopulated and free of equipment above each RS416 product to
allow for a small amount of convectional airflow. Although forced airflow is not necessary, any
increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature that will improve long-term
reliability of all equipment mounted within the rack space.
