Allow at least 50 mm (2 in.) of space on the sides, and 150 mm (6 in.) 
at the rear of the system to permit free air circulation. 
Cabling 
The printer (4) and spectrophotometer (1) are connected to the 
computer via cables that plug into the back of the computer. Consult 
your monitor and printer manuals for details of their cabling 
requirements.  
The spectrophotometer is connected to the computer by a shielded 
IEEE-488 cable (3). One end of this plugs into the interfacing board 
(2) in the computer and the other plugs into the socket at the rear of 
the spectrometer. 
Power  
Requirements 
Power requirements are detailed in your Cary Site Preparation 
Guide, and in the ‘Specifications’ section on Page 14. Thoroughly 
read this information before connecting the Cary system to the power 
supply.
