TX Matrix Plus Rack-Mounting Requirements
The TX Matrix Plus router can be installed in many types of racks. Follow these guidelines:
•
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the TX Matrix Plus
router chassis's external dimensions: 52.0 in. (132.1 cm) high, 36.2 in. (91.9 cm) deep,
and 21.4 in. (54.4 cm) wide. The center-mounting brackets and front-mounting flanges
extend the width to 23 in. (58.4 cm) racks.
•
If the horizontal spacing between the rails is wider than the center-mounting brackets
or front-mounting flanges, use approved wing devices to narrow the opening between
the rails as required.
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured TX Matrix
Plus router, up to 925 lb (420 kg).
•
We recommend that you install one TX Matrix Plus router in its own dedicated rack.
