InfoCaster R2100 Hardware Installation Manual
Chassis Rack Installation
The InfoCaster R2100 system must be mounted in an area where there is unrestricted air movement. For
maximum efficiency and reliability, the InfoCaster system should be operated in an ambient temperature
between 40° and 95°F (5° to 35°C) non-condensing.
Structural
Support
Along with the rack mounting ears included in the packing box, InfoCaster
R2100 systems require additional structural support.
Inscriber does not provide rack mounting slides as a standard part of the
system accessories. You can order slides for your InfoCaster rackmount chassis
from Inscriber.
Inscriber has tested and approved the Chassis Trak
®
Model C-300 series rack
mounting slides from General Devices. These slides are available in various
lengths to meet your rack mounting requirements, and are designed to support
the weight of a fully configured InfoCaster system.
To order slides for your InfoCaster R2100 system, visit the General Devices
website at

If you are mounting a short chassis in a deep rack, it is necessary to use an
extension support bracket. This bracket is mounted on the rear of the stationary
outer slide, and then secured to the mounting surface of the rack. Depending
on the which extension bracket is used, it can add up to six inches to the
overall slide length.
The extension support bracket replaces the supplied end bracket that comes
with the slide’s standard hardware package. See
“Rack Mount the Chassis” on
page 15 for installation information.
