Rack Mounting Three options are available for rack-mounting QMOD modulators. RK2EZ Dual Rack Kit with Tie Bar Mounting QMOD enclosures have a slot in the bottom middle of the case. This will accept a tie bar that will lock the two enclosures together without taking the cases apart. Do not mount the QCA9-33 or QDA4-45 units next to QMODs, as the units will block flow-through fan ventilation. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check that your enclosures have the tie bar slot.
