Mounting a PX20 Expansion
Box in a 19'' Rack
The PX20 Expansion Box is available as either a desktop box or a
rack-mount version. However, you can also install the desktop box in a
19āā rack.
When the outer decorative cover of a PX20 is removed, its chassis can
be mounted in a standard 19āā rack. There are five M5 threads on
either side of the chassis. The bolts should be as short as possible to
prevent short circuits inside the unit, and must not protrude more than
5 mm (0.2") into the box. With common 19āā racks, M5 x 6 bolts can
be used.
To prevent the system from overheating make sure that the ventilation
is not obstructed.
The plastic front cover can be snapped off and can be replaced by a
special version with rack handles, which is available upon request.
