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".

Assembly Procedures
1. Lay the chassis on a protected work surface on its long side with the voltage monitor LEDs of
the chassis facing front with the power switch toward the top.
2.
Locate and remove the four, black plastic feet on the bottom of the chassis. Retain the feet if
restoring the chassis to its original portable use is anticipated.
3. Find four threaded holes on each side of the chassis (the plastic feet were attached to two of
these holes) towards the front of the unit.
4. Line up the rack mount ears with the threaded holes selecting the flush or recessed position as
desired. Refer to the rack mount ear installation diagram for visual assistance.
5. Secure the rack ears using the supplied 8-32 x 3/8" pan head Phillips screws.
Before installing the chassis into an EIA switch rack, the chassis handle should be removed. This
can be accomplished by performing the following steps:
1.
Remove the four screws located near the handle.
2.
Remove the two, black decorative covers at each end of the carrying handle using a flat blade
screwdriver. Place a piece of paper under the screwdriver blade to prevent scratching the
chassis cover.
3.
Remove the four Phillips screws holding the handle in place and then remove the handle
itself. Retain the carrying handle components if there may be some need to restore the chassis
to its original portable use in the future.
