Rack Mounting HyperDeck Extreme

The HyperDeck Extreme and HyperDeck Extreme Control can be rack mounted into a broadcast rack or road case using the HyperDeck rack mount kit.

Sitting at three rack units high and half the width of a standard rack, HyperDeck Extreme can be mounted side by side or individually using the blanking panel provided with the kit.

The HyperDeck Extreme Rack Kit contains the following items:

	2 x Rack ears Attach rack ‘ears’ to the outside edge of HyperDeck Extreme for mounting in a rack.
	1 x Half rack width blanking panel The blanking panel has a mounting ear on one side so you can cover the empty rack space if you are installing a single unit. The illustration shows the ear on the right side. Simply rotate the panel 180° to mount it to the other side.
	2 x Support brackets The T-shaped support brackets attach underneath the HyperDeck Extreme units where the two units meet at the front and the rear to provide support.
	Screws Rack ear Blanking panel Support screws screws bracket screws
	2 x Cable tab insert

Preparing HyperDeck Extreme or HyperDeck Extreme Control for individual rack installation

1. Position the blanking panel on one of the sides of your HyperDeck unit, depending on whether you would like the unit to sit on the right or left of the shelf. The front face of the blanking panel should be parallel with the front panel of the unit.

2. Attach the blanking panel to the side of your HyperDeck unit using three of the supplied blanking panel screws.

3. Use three of the rack ear screws to attach a rack ear to the other side of the HyperDeck unit.

With the rack ear and blanking panel now attached, you can install the HyperDeck unit into a rack. Use the mounting holes on both sides and standard rack screws.

Preparing to rack mount a HyperDeck Extreme with a HyperDeck Extreme Control.

When rack mounting HyperDeck Extreme and HyperDeck Extreme Control side by side, it’s best to have the controller on the right. This way your headphone port will be on the far left and your search dial on the far right, making it a seamless transition from traditional broadcast deck to your HyperDeck Extreme.

1. The two units will be joined on one side using support brackets, so the first step is to remove the two rubber feet from the joining side of each unit.

2. The units will be secured via the cable brackets on the rear along with t shaped support brackets installed on the base. On the rear cable brackets, insert a cable tab insert into the top and bottom holes on one unit, securing each in place using the supplied support bracket screws. Attach the two t-shaped supports between the two units at the front and rear and screw in place using support brackets screws.

3. The cable tab insert installed previously should line up with the holes of the cable bracket on the other unit. Secure with the supplied support bracket screws. You can now turn the unit right side up.

4. Attach the rack ears to the outer edges near the front of both units using the supplied rack ear screws. Your HyperDeck Extreme and HyperDeck Extreme Control are now ready to be mounted into your rack as a single unit.
