STUDIO TECHNOLOGIES 544D Audio Interface
Panel Cutout or Surface Mounting One
Installation kit RMBK-10 allows one Model 544D to be mounted in a panel cutout
or onto a flat surface. The kit contains two standard-length brackets and four
6-32 thread-pitch Phillips-head machine screws.
Get ready to install the kit by first removing the four machine screws and
associated “bump on” protectors from the bottom of the Model 544D’s chassis.
They are removed using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Store the four machine
screws and four bump on protectors for possible later use.
To prepare the unit to mount in a cutout or other opening in a panel, use a #2
Phillips screwdriver and two 6-32 machine screws to attach one of the
standard-length brackets onto the left side (when viewed from the front) of
the Model 544D’s enclosure. Orient the standard-length bracket such that its
front is parallel to the Model 544D’s front panel. The screws will mate with
the threaded fasteners that can be seen on the side of the Model 544D’s
enclosure, near the front of the unit. Using two additional 6-32 machine
screws, attach the other standard-length bracket onto the right side of the
Model 544D’s enclosure.
Once the two standard-length brackets have been installed the Model 544D will
be ready to be mounted into an opening. Secure the unit into the top left and
right edges of the opening using two mounting screws per side.
To prepare the unit to be mounted onto a flat surface simply requires the
standard-length brackets be attached to the Model 544D at 90 degrees from how
they are mounted for use in a panel cutout. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and
two 6-32 machine screws to attach one of the standard-length brackets onto the
left side (when viewed from the front) of the enclosure. Orient the bracket
such that its front is parallel with the top surface of the Model 544D’s
enclosure. The screws will mate with the threaded fasteners that can be seen
on the side of the Model 544D’s enclosure, near the front of the unit.
Following the same orientation, use two additional 6-32 machine screws to
attach the other standard-length bracket onto the right side of the Model
544D’s enclosure.
Once the two standard-length brackets have been installed the Model 544D will
be ready to be mounted onto a flat surface. Secure the unit to the surface
using two mounting screws per side.
Left- or Right-Side Rack Mounting One
Installation kit RMBK-11 allows one Model 544D to be mounted in the left or
right side of one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch rack enclosure. The kit
contains one standard-length bracket, one long-length bracket, and four 6-32
thread-pitch Phillips-head machine screws.
Get ready to install the kit by removing the four machine
screws and associated bump on protectors from the bottom of the Model 544D’s
chassis. They are removed using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Store the four
machine screws and four bump on protectors for possible later use.
To prepare the unit to mount in the left side of a rack enclosure, use a #2
Phillips screwdriver and two 6-32 machine
screws to attach the standard-length bracket onto the left side (when viewed
from the front) of the enclosure. The screws will mate with the threaded
fasteners that can be seen on the side of the Model 544D’s enclosure, near the
front of the unit. Using two additional 6-32 machine screws, attach the long-
length bracket onto the right side of the Model 544D’s enclosure.
To prepare the unit to mount in the right side of a rack enclosure, use a #2
Phillips screwdriver and two 6-32 machine screws to attach the long-length
bracket onto the left side of the enclosure. Using two additional 6-32 machine
screws, attach the standard-length bracket onto the right side of the Model
544D’s enclosure.
Once the standard-length and long-length brackets have been installed the
Model 544D will be ready to be mounted into the designated equipment rack. One
space (1U or 1.75 vertical inches) in a standard 19-inch equipment rack is
required. Secure the unit into the equipment rack using two mounting screws
per side.
Rack-Mounting Two Model 544D Units
Installation kit RMBK-12 is used to allow two Model 544D units to be mounted
in one space (1U) of a standard 19- inch equipment rack. The kit can also be
used to mount one Model 544D and one other Studio Technologies’ product that
is compatible with the RMBK-12, such as the Model 545DR Intercom Interface or
the Model 5421 Dante Intercom Audio Engine. The RMBK-12 installation kit
contains two standard-length brackets, two joiner plates, eight 6-32 thread-
pitch Phillips-head machine screws, and two 2-56 thread-pitch Torx™ T7 thread-
forming machine screws. Get ready to install the kit by removing the four
machine screws and associated bump on protectors from the bottom of each
chassis. They are removed using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Store the eight
machine screws and eight bump on protectors for possible later use.
With assistance from a #2 Phillips screwdriver, use two of the 6-32 machine
screws to attach one of the standard-length brackets onto the left side (when
viewed from the front) of one of the Model 544D units. The screws will mate
with the threaded fasteners that can be seen on the side of the Model 544D’s
enclosure, near the front of the unit. Using two more of the 6-32 machine
screws, attach one of the joiner plates onto the right side of that same Model
544D unit.
Again using two of the 6-32 machine screws, attach the second standard-length
bracket onto the right side of the second Model 544D or another compatible
unit. Using the final two 6-32 machine screws, attach the second joiner plate
onto the left side of the second Model 544D or other compatible unit with an
orientation of 180 degrees from the way in which the first plate was
installed.
To complete the assembly, “join” the units together by sliding each joiner
plate through the other. The grooves in each joiner plate will carefully align
with each other and form a relatively tight bond. Line up the two units so
that the front panels form a common plane. With the aid of a Torx T7
screwdriver, use the two 2-56 Torx machine screws to secure the two joiner
plates together. The screws should fit snugly into the small openings formed
by the mating of the two joiner plates.
The 2-unit assembly is now ready to be mounted into the designated equipment
rack. One space (1U or 1.75 vertical inches) in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack is required. Secure the assembly into the equipment rack using two
mounting screws per side.
Center Rack Mounting One
Installation kit RMBK-13 allows one Model 544D to be mounted in the center of
one space (1U) of a standard 19- inch rack enclosure. The kit contains two
medium-length brackets and four 6-32 thread-pitch Phillips-head machine
screws.
Get ready to install the kit by removing the four machine
screws and associated bump on protectors from the bottom of the Model 544D’s
chassis. They are removed using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Store the four
machine screws and four bump on protectors for possible later use.
To prepare the unit to mount in the center of a rack enclosure, use a #2
Phillips screwdriver and two 6-32 machine screws to attach one of the medium-
length brackets onto the left side (when viewed from the front) of the
enclosure.
The screws will mate with the threaded fasteners that can be seen on the side
of the Model 544D’s enclosure, near the front of the unit. Using two
additional 6-32 machine screws, attach the other medium-length bracket onto
the right side of the Model 544D’s enclosure.
Once the two medium-length brackets have been installed the Model 544D will be
ready to be mounted into the designated equipment rack. One space (1U or 1.75
vertical inches) in a standard 19-inch equipment rack is required. Secure the
unit into the equipment rack using two mounting screws per side.
