APPENDIX D: PARAGON II RACK MOUNT 135
Appendix D: Paragon II Rack Mount
Paragon II user stations and most matrix switches can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4 cm) of
vertical space in a standard 19" equipment rack, except that P2-UMT1664M shall be mounted in
2U (3.5", 8.9 cm) of space. To rackmount a matrix switch, use the brackets and screws that came
with the unit; to rackmount a user station, use Raritan’s RUST-LM304 rackmount kit. (If you lose
or damage a switch’s brackets, replace them with the RUMT-1U-LM304 kit for any 1U switch or
RUMT-2U-LM304 for a P2-UMT1664M.) You can mount a matrix switch or user station facing
the front of the rack or facing the rear.
Forward Mount
The steps correspond to the numbers in the following diagrams.
1. Secure the cable-support bar to the back end of the side brackets using two of the included
screws.
2. Slide the user station or matrix switch 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 user station or switch 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, etc.
5. When you attach cables to the connectors on the rear panel of the user station or switch, drape
them over the cable-support bar.
