Rack mounting your MXO2 Rack
Use the supplied rackmount brackets to mount your Matrox MXO2 Rack to a
standard 19-inch rack. The rackmount brackets can be used to either front or rear
mount your MXO2 Rack. You can also mount MXO2 Rack so that it’s recessed to
allow more space for cables. MXO2 Rack takes up two vertical rack unit spaces.
1 Unpack the two rackmount brackets and their eight mounting screws.
²Caution Use only the screws supplied with your MXO2 Rack to attach the
rackmount brackets to your MXO2 Rack. If you use screws that are larger or longer
than the ones supplied, you can damage your equipment.
2 Depending if you want to front or rear mount your MXO2 Rack, position the
rackmount brackets so that the bracket face is either towards the front (connector
side) or the back of your MXO2 Rack.
