Install the ION 1200-S on a Rack
Learn to install the ION 1200-S on a rack.
Mount the ION device in a 19” equipment rack
using the racktray. The mounting equipment requires 1 RU of rack
space.
The racktray kit enables you to install an ION 1200-S device in a 19" rack. The installation
hardware consists of a metal base and two rails. To ease installation, first install
the device in the racktray and then install the assembled racktray into the
equipment rack.
For the rack mounted devices, the temperatures
must not exceed a specified maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees
Celsius. If there is any other heat source in the rack, you may
need to add some form of ventilation such as fans or thermal pads
to prevent internal thermal buildup.
Maintain
a minimum of 7.5" height clearance for the antennas in the rack.
- Slide one of the adjustable mounting brackets into one of the fixed mounting brackets to create a mounting rail. Repeat for the second mounting rail. The adjustable and fixed brackets are the same for the left and right side.
You may also use the two-post configuration to rack mount the device using a cross-bar at the rear to prevent the racks from flaring out. This kit can be used for ION 1200 and its variants.
The following is the cable rack mount kit for ION 1200-S-C-NA, ION 1200-S-C-ROW, and ION 1200-S-C5G-WW.
- Align the bottom edge of the mounting rails to the bottom of the 1 RU rack space reserved for the device. Align the slotted holes in the adjustable mounting bracket to the holes on the rear of the equipment frame.The mounting rails are designed for equipment frames that are 26” to 32” deep.
- Secure the rails to the equipment frame with mounting screws (not provided) compatible with your equipment frame. Tighten the screws to their recommended torque value.
- Slide the power adapter into the marked position and attach the AC cord, route the AC cord to the right side of the tray sidewall and underneath the front tray “C” channel.
- Attach the power cord routing cover to the tray sidewall and install AC retaining clamp.
- Plug the power supply connector into the back of the device. Using the provided tie-wraps, bind and secure the power supply cable toward the back end of the tray using the sheet-metal lances toward the center of the tray.
- After assembling the device to the tray and connecting the power cable to the device, tie-wrap the power cord to the "C" channel.
- With the front of the device facing forward, align the four rubber feet on the bottom of the device to the slotted holes in the provided mounting tray. Secure the device in place using two provided #6-32 x 3/16” Long Flathead screws.
- Slide the mounting tray into the rails previously fixed to the equipment rack. Stop when the front flange on the mounting tray is flush with the front of the rail.
- Align the slotted holes in the mounting tray to the holes in the equipment frame. Secure the mounting tray to the equipment frame on both sides using 3 screws each (not provided). The screws must be compatible with your equipment frame.
- Proceed to Power on the ION 1200
