2.1.4.2 Rack Cabinet Mounting
Prior to installation of the rack cabinet, the location must be prepared to accept mounting bolts in the
locations shown in figure 2.1.4.2A. All external cables are routed through the large cable entry brush strip
opening at the lower rear of the cabinet.
To access the bolt-down brackets, remove the 3 floor plates near the bottom inside of the cabinet. It may
also be helpful to remove the plinth base covers that clip onto the legs at the bottom of the rack. They can
be pulled off and snapped back on. Align the rack carefully such that the four 3/8” (or 10mm) mounting bolts
can be inserted through the holes in the bolt-down brackets in the bottom of the cabinet. See figure 2.4.1.2A
for dimensions for placing the floor bolts. Note that the bolt-down brackets can be rotated to different
positions if desired.
Air exhaust for the rack cabinet is at the rear through the perforated door.
When the rack cabinet is secured to the floor, the floor plates, plinth base covers and modules can be
installed. Install the modules starting with the bottom module and proceed towards the top module. Work
only with one module at a time - make sure that each module is secured in the rack cabinet before installing
the next module.
For module locations, see figure 2.1.4.2B.
The Power Supply module must be installed first.
Proceed as follows:
a) Pull out both cabinet rack slides (left and right) for the Power Supply. Make sure the rack slides are
pulled out all the way until they lock into place.
b) Insert the Power Supply module rack slides into the cabinet rack slides.
c) Gently push the module into the rack cabinet and secure with #10-32 retaining screws.
Proceed to install the remaining modules from the bottom up, in accordance with figure 2.1.4.2B.
