The SCE 2000 Mounting Brackets
There are two standard types of equipment racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.
•19" rack with front rack posts — the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated below:
Figure 2-1
•19" rack with front and back rack posts — in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated below, the mounting kit includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.
Figure 2-2
The SCE 2000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 2000 The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).
Note Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and at the rear for adequate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.
Attach the Brackets to the SCE 2000
Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install an appropriate rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 2000 , as illustrated in the following figures.

Figure 2-4 Attaching the Mounting Brackets (2-post)
To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 2000 chassis, complete the following steps:
Before installing the SCE 2000 in the rack, you must first install a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 2000 .
Step 1 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 2000 . Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-post rack or 4-post rack) as illustrated in The SCE 2000 Mounting Brackets
Step 2 Insert and tighten three screws.
Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 2000 .
If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to Mount the System to the Rack.
If mounting the SCE 2000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step, Installing the Crossrail Supports (Four-post rack only).
Installing the Crossrail Supports (Four-post rack only)
This section provides information for assembling the crossrail supports and attaching them to the rack.
When mounting in a rack with four posts (front and back) the two crossrail supports are mounted one on each side of the rack. The SCE 2000 then slides into these crossrails, which support the weight of the unit.
• Assemble the Crossrail Supports
• Attach the Crossrail Supports to the Rack
Assemble the Crossrail Supports
Step 1 Assemble the two crossrail supports. Use three screws for each crossrail assembly.
Figure 2-5 Assembling the Slider Brackets
Step 2 Make sure that they are oriented so that both crossrails will support the SCE 2000 when they are attached to the rack.
Attach the Crossrail Supports to the Rack
Step 1 Align the crossrail supports with the side of the rack, parallel to the floor.
Figure 2-6 Attaching the Crossrails to the Rack
Step 2 Insert and tighten two screws to the front posts or mounting strips of the rack
Step 3 Insert and tighten two screws to the Back posts of the rack.
Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the rack, keeping the brackets flush against the posts and parallel to the supporting bracket on first side of the rack.
Mount the System to the Rack
When the appropriate mounting brackets are securely installed, the SCE 2000 can be installed into the rack.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Make sure that the rack brakes are locked or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
2. Position the SCE 2000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.
3. Slide the SCE 2000 into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front of the SCE 2000 ) meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.
4. While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip.
5. For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Make sure that the rack brakes are locked or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Figure 2-7 Sliding the SCE Platform into the Rack
Step 2 Position the SCE 2000 so that the front end is closest to you, and lift it carefully to place it into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.
Step 3 Slide the SCE 2000 into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (installed at the front of the SCE 2000 ) meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.
A rack with both front and back posts will have the crossrail supports installed. Slide the SCE 2000 onto these crossrails and push it all the way back.
Step 4 While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip.

Step 5 For each bracket, insert and tighten two appropriate screws to the rack.
Note Since the brackets support the weight of the entire SCE 2000 chassis, be sure to use all four screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
