B-LINE SB742T23FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line SB742T23FB keyboard tray mount in a standard 19 inch open frame rack?
Yes. The SB742T23FB is a rack mounted sliding/tilting keyboard tray built for Eaton B-Line series open frame racks, and it uses #12-24 mounting hardware, which is the thread B-Line punches its open rack rails for. Overall width is 22.9 inches, so allow for the mounting flanges extending past the 19 inch rail opening.
2) How much rack depth do I need behind the rails for a B-Line SB742T23FB keyboard tray?
Plan on at least 12.5 inches of clear depth behind the mounting rails. That is the tray's length/depth dimension, and because it slides out you also need the front of the rack kept clear for travel. In a two-post open rack with no enclosure, depth is usually not the constraint, but in a shallow wall mount frame it is the first thing to check.
3) How many rack units does the B-Line sliding keyboard tray take up?
The tray measures 5.22 inches high, which works out to three rack units of panel space (a rack unit is 1.75 inches, so 3U is 5.25 inches). Budget 3U in your elevation drawing and leave the space directly below it free if you want knee clearance for a seated operator.
4) Can I put a keyboard and a monitor on this B-Line rack tray?
The tray is rated for a 50 lb load, so a keyboard, mouse and a light LCD monitor are within it. It is a sliding/tilting keyboard tray though, not a fixed shelf, so anything you set on it moves and angles with the tray. For a monitor you want held steady, use a fixed rack shelf and keep the tray for the keyboard.
5) What hardware do I need to order to install this rack keyboard tray?
Mounting is #12-24, matching B-Line open rack rail threading. If your rack rails are already tapped #12-24 you need #12-24 rack screws only. If you are mounting into square hole rails instead, you need #12-24 cage nuts to accept the screws. Confirm which rail type your frame uses before you order fasteners.
6) Is the B-Line SB742T23FB tray steel or aluminum, and how heavy is it to hang?
It is aluminum with a flat black powder coat finish, and the unit weighs 8.5 lb. That is light enough for one person to hold in place and start the mounting screws, which matters on an open two post rack where there is nothing to rest it on.
7) Will a flat black B-Line keyboard tray match the black racks already in my equipment room?
The finish is flat black powder coat, the same matte black B-Line uses across its open frame rack line, so it reads consistently next to existing black racks and panels rather than as a gloss mismatch. Powder coat over aluminum also means no rust bloom in a humid closet.
