Lynx II DSA User's Manual – 7096089 185
After the components are assembled, the rack should be sturdy and without flexing or
movement.
• Install the joined components in any 2U (3.5 inch) opening into the front of your
equipment rack, using your rack's mounting screws.
Finally, connect the power, network, and Acquisition device cables as usual.
Rack-mounting Lynx II and 1
st
Generation Units
This assembly must be done with power off, and preferably with no cables connected to
the Lynx II and Lynx units. It is best to pre-assemble these parts on a bench and install the
joined items as a unit into your equipment rack.
Make sure to:
• Remove and discard the rubber feet from the bottom of the Lynx II unit if installed.
• Remove the contents of the Rack Mount Kit from its packing material.
• Use the proper tools. You will need an Allen Wrench (4 mm or 5/32") and a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
• Use the mounting hardware from your rack system to mount the joined components
into your rack. Note the 1
st
generation Lynx will already have its rack-mount
hardware attached.
You will join one Lynx II and one Lynx 1
st
generation unit side-by-side as shown in
Figure 88.
