CHAPTER 5: Rackmount Installation
The High Speed SHM-B Async Card (ME802C) is
a rackmount unit that installs in a standard 19-inch
(48.3-cm) panel rack. (You can use the SHM-B Rack
[ME810], which can hold up to 16 cards.) The SHM-
B Async rack will occupy 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) of
vertical rack space, and is 9 inches (22.8 cm) deep.
To install the SHM-B Rack, first remove the acrylic
front panel by pulling out the six plunger latches on
the front of the panel, then pulling on opposite-side
plungers to loosen and remove the panel.
Locate the four 10/32 Phillips-head screws that were
shipped with the SHM-B Rack. Use these screws to
fasten the SHM-B Rack to your rack cabinet.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to use screws that are not countersunk,
since this will result in damage to the plastic front panel
when it is installed.
Wire each SHM-B board according to Figures 1 and
2. It is easiest to first feed all of the wires and cables
through the rack. Then you can make the necessary
circuit-board connections with the circuit boards
