How to install Kramer RK-1UTB

Installing the RK-1UTB is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption to your space. Follow these general guidelines to securely mount the enclosure under a table or podium top and configure your 19" rack devices for quick access during events or presentations.

• Plan the placement: Choose a location under the table or podium top that provides clear clearance for equipment, ventilation, and cable routing. Confirm that there is unobstructed access from the front or side as required by your setup, and ensure the surface is solid enough to support mounting.
• Prepare mounting points: With the table or podium surface identified, mark the appropriate screw locations that will anchor the RK-1UTB. Use a level to ensure a straight, stable installation to prevent tilt or misalignment of mounted devices.
• Secure the bracket: Attach the RK-1UTB to the underside of the table or podium using suitable fasteners appropriate for the table material. Use the hardware most compatible with wood surfaces (e.g., wood screws or anchors) and tighten evenly to achieve a secure, flush mount.
• Configure the rack and inserts: Once the enclosure is secured, install the selectable desktop modules and the two single-slot wall plate inserts as required by your configuration. Align each component with standard 19" spacing and ensure that all devices are seated properly for reliable operation and easy insertion/removal during service.
• Route cables and finalize: With devices installed, route power and signal cables neatly to minimize strain and avoid interference. Use cable ties or management channels as needed, securing cables out of the way of any moving parts. Perform a final check to confirm that all devices power on correctly and that access points are convenient for on-site adjustments.
