Rack Mounting a Ti

[dmacintyre]

Yipee! Just bought a Ti desktop!

I intend to rack mount it - can anyone tell me how many rack spaces it takes up so I can get something big enough to take it. I think it looks like 4U but I can't find it anywhere and the guy at Turnkey didn't know either.

Thanks!

Congrats on the purchase. :)

4U it is.

The 4U Rack mounting kit is also included with the desktop model.

From the Access site.

Love your little dog! That a border terrier?

Thanks Timo. Silly me for looking in the specifications page! :lol:

Yup, that's my best friend Scrubbie the Border Terrorist. Quick to learn, slow to obey.

4U it is.

What about space for cable connections at the top? Can they fit in 1 or 2U?

Cheers,

1U if you use right angle connectors, else 2U.

Or rotate the back panel and then it 0U.

Or rotate the back panel and then it 0U.

I take it the back panel rotation is a TI feature?

Yeh - details in the manual I think (?) - it involves taking it apart - may impact warranty...

Got a Classic myself so not much use to me. I'm thinking I might buy a 6U Gator rack case for it. Though I do have a Yamaha A3000 in a 2U case so it might be smarter to buy a larger case for both of them and sell the 2U.

Hi. Just got my TI desktop and I want to put it in a rack. I don't see any instructions with the rack ears and need to know if I am supposed to use the same bolts that hold the wood panels in place for mounting the rack ears to the unit. I am assuming this is the case, as I see no other screws, but I'd hate to risk damaging the unit.

Thanks!
