QS Rule 

 

In Raritan products that require Rack Mounting, please follow 
these precautions: 

 

Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may 
be greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the 
rated maximum ambient temperature of the appliances. 
See 

Specifications

 in online help. 

 

Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment. 

 

Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven 
mechanical loading. 

 

Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid 
overloading circuits. 

 

Ground all equipment properly, especially supply 
connections, such as power strips (other than direct 
connections), to the branch circuit.

Rack Mounting 

The KX II can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4 cm) of vertical 
space in a standard 19" equipment rack.     

Note: The Raritan device depicted in the rack mounting 
diagrams is for example purposes only and may not depict 
your device. The mounting instructions are specific to your 
device. 

 

Forward Mount 

The steps correspond to the numbers shown in the front 
rackmount diagrams. 

1.  Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side 

brackets using two of the included screws. 

2.  Slide the KX II between the side brackets, with its rear 

panel facing the cable-support bar, until its front panel is 
flush with the “ears” of the side brackets. 

3.  Secure the KX II to the side brackets using the remaining 

included screws (three on each side). 

4.  Mount the entire assembly in your rack, and secure the 

side brackets' ears to the rack's front rails with your own 
screws, bolts, cage nuts, and so on. 

5.  When connecting cables to the rear panel of the KX II 

drape them over the cable-support bar. 

   

 

Rear Mount 

The steps correspond to the numbers shown in the rear 
rackmount diagrams.
