Frame and Electrical Installation
The Kaleido-X16 multi-viewer is a self-contained unit consisting of a frame, redundant power supplies,
and various input and output cards. The monitor wall displays and external control devices complete the
system.
Frame
The Kaleido-X16 frame is 1 RU high. Input and output connectors are mounted on a connector panel on the
rear of the frame. The redundant power supply is installed in the front of the frame. The front cover can be
removed to give access to the PSUs, CompactFlash card, USB connector, and basic LEDs.
The Kaleido-X16 frame incorporates the following key elements:
• A rack-mountable mechanical framework (for mounting into a 19-inch EIA rack)
• A removable door to cover and protect the front of the frame
• An optional redundant power supply
• Ventilation

IMPORTANT: Mobile Installation
If you are deploying your Kaleido-X16 in a mobile unit, it is your responsibility to make sure
the back of the multi-viewer is securely attached to the rack. For instance you may install
a blank panel at the back of the rack, so that it meets the top of the frame, to prevent the
frame from bouncing away from the support brackets.
Ventilation
For proper ventilation, make sure the front and side panel air vents are not blocked and the
air filter is clean.
Note: The optional Kaleido-RCP2 may also be installed in a rack, by using the KRCP-RK2
mounting kit.
