The AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox is the ideal environment for using
your dSPACE real-time hardware for in-vehicle control experiments. It
provides space for up to seven boards, on request even for up to 14

vehicle.

Notes on Mounting and Connecting
The AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox features a DC–DC power supply with
a remote control input that should be used to turn the power supply
on or off.
Objective
n Do not mount AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox without rubber shoes at
the shock mounts.
n Upside down mounting is not allowed.
n For mounting you should add approx. 0.1 m (3.9 in.) space to the
outer dimensions of the AutoBox. This is to allow the
AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox to vibrate under extreme conditions
without bumping against other devices.
n Do not block the air intake of the fan on the rear side, and provide
sufficient space for free air flow.
