4.2.2 INTERCONNECTED CHASSIS
GARD 8000 terminals ordered as part of a larger system may be interconnected with other chassis and
mounted in a relay rack or cabinet, or on shipping rails for installation into a rack or cabinet at the
customer's site. In such cases, the entire assembly is enclosed in a wood crate or delivered by air-ride
van:
1. If the equipment is crated, carefully open the crate to avoid damaging the equipment.
2. Remove the equipment from the crate and carefully examine all packing materials to make sure
no items of value are discarded.
3. Carefully remove any packing materials that were inserted into the individual chassis to hold
circuit cards in place during transit.
4. Make sure all modules are fully seated in the chassis. The machine screws securing all I/O modules
to the rear of the chassis should be fully tightened.
If you notice any signs of shipping damage, immediately notify RFL Customer Service at the phone
number at the bottom of this page. Save all the packing material and the shipping carton, in case a
damage claim needs to be filed with the shipping company that delivered the unit.
4.3 MOUNTING
After unpacking, GARD 8000 equipment must be securely mounted, following the instructions in the
following paragraphs. Procedures are provided for individual chassis, interconnected chassis installed
in racks or cabinets, and interconnected chassis mounted on shipping rails; use the procedure that suits
your equipment.
4.3.1 INDIVIDUAL CHASSIS
GARD 8000 terminals housed in individual chassis have two mounting ears (one on each side). Hole
sizes and spacings conform with EIA standards, so the GARD 8000 can be mounted in any standard
19-inch rack or cabinet. Complete mounting dimensions are shown in Figures 4-1.
CAUTION
ANY INSTALLATION USING AN ENCLOSED CABINET WITH A SWING-OUT
RACK MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL PREVENT
THE CABINET FROM FALLING FORWARD WHEN THE RACK IS MOVED
