This section contains the procedures for installing a CT-310A chassis into a standard 19" relay
rack. The available rack mounting options are:
Option 52 – Rack Mount Ear Kit
Option 53 – Rack Mount Door Kit
Option 57 – 20" Slide Kit
Option 58 – 24" Slide Kit
The rack mount ear kit provides the basic hardware necessary to rack mount the CT-310A chassis.
Because the chassis is only 15" wide, standard rack support rails cannot provide mechanical
support to the chassis. If the equipment mounted below the CT-310A cannot provide mechanical
support to the chassis, either 20" or 24" slides will be required to support the chassis in the rack.
The rack mounting ears are designed to allow the chassis to be flush mounted in the rack or
recessed 4".
The rack mount door kit provides the necessary hardware to install a 1/8" thick aluminum door in
front of the rack mounted chassis. This option requires that the rack mount ear kit also be installed
and configured for recessed mounting. The door may be customer modified to hold connectors,
controls, indicators and similar components.
The 20" and 24" slide kits provide the ability to remove the chassis easily from the rack for
servicing and provides mechanical support for the chassis when installed in the rack. The 20" slide
kit is used when the chassis is flush mounted in the rack. If the chassis is to be recess mounted,
then the 24" slides are required.
When installing the CT-310A into an EIA rack, please refer to the rack manufacturer’s installation
instruction for details.
