Tray (FG1010-720) and Tray with Fill Plates (FG1010-721)

The Tray Kit can be ordered with or without fill plates. The Tray with Fill Plates Kit contains a tray and plates in sizes that will fill out the tray for a professional looking installation (fill plates come in 1/12, 1/6, 1/4, and 1/3 rack width sizes).

Modules can be mounted in a tray facing either direction as illustrated in FIG. 1.

FIG. 1 Options for placing modules in the tray (shown with fill plates)

Tip: If multiple fill plates are required, use a minimum of fill plates by selecting the largest sizes that will fill the space first.

To mount modules in a tray:

1. Invert the module and the module rack mounting tray for ease of installation.
2. Attach the rack mounting tray to the bottom of the module using the #4-40 3/16 inch undercut flat head screws (provided). Note that only two screws are required.
3. Install the tray in a standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack and secure with rack-mounting screws.
4. Optional – attach fill plates using the #4-40 3/16 inch undercut flat head screws (provided). Be sure to use the screw holes closest to the front of the tray.

Surface Mount (FG1010-722)

Attaching brackets

The Surface Mount Kit is designed for mounting a single module (to the wall, on or under a desk, etc.) The kit contains brackets and screws. The brackets may be attached to mount the top or the bottom flush with the mounting surface.

Important: Be careful not to block vent holes on the module when mounting.

FIG. 3 Attach brackets in either top or bottom position (various size modules shown)

The following instructions can be used for attaching brackets when surface mounting or for pole mounting.

Tip: Laying the module and brackets on a flat surface when you attach the brackets helps align them.

To attach brackets to a module:

1. Insert the #4-40 3/16 inch pan head screws (provided) per FIG. 4 and tighten. Brackets can either align flush with the top or with the bottom.

Mounting on Surface

Note: The #8 x 1/2 inch tapping pan head screws provided for mounting to a flat surface are designed for wood. If the module needs to be mounted on a different type of surface, use the appropriate type of fastener, e.g., dry wall anchors (not provided).

To mount a module with brackets to a flat surface:

1. Place the module in the desired final position on the mounting surface and mark the screw position as indicated in FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 Mark screw positions

Important: The mark for the screw's position in each of the mounting holes needs to be made in the end of the slots (all marks to either the top of the slots or all marks to the bottom).

1. Set the module aside. If using the wood screws provided, drill pilot holes (drill size 29; hole diameter 0.136 in.) for the screws 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) deep. Start the screws in the holes. Do not tighten completely.

Pole Mount (FG1010-723)

The Pole Mount Kit is designed for mounting a single module to a projector pipe (or other 2 inch diameter pipes). The kit contains all the mounting hardware for the assembly in FIG. 9.

To mount a module using brackets and bolts:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the module according to the instructions for surface mounting (see FIG. 4).
2. Insert the first u-bolt around the pole/pipe and through the bracket and plate according to FIG. 9.
3. Fasten securely with the hex nuts.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 using the remaining u-bolt, bracket, plate, and hex nuts.
