CPU Installation
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Installation
The CPU may be mounted in a variety of locations, such as under the dashboard, seat, or in the storage compartment.
The location must be away from elements; such as water. Pick a location that will facilitate easy routing of the main wir-
ing harness to the other components.
The CPU must be installed with the yellow label on the CPU pointing up. The mounting location should:
•
Allow for grounding the CPU to the chassis
•
Be out of the way of the driver and/or passenger
•
Easy access for servicing.
1.
Locate the CPU on a stable, vibration-free surface, where the top of the CPU is within 3 degrees of level.
2.
Position the CPU as a guide for drilling the mounting holes.
Before drilling, check for any wiring, hoses and components that may be damaged by drilling and/or mounting
hardware.
3.
Install the CPU on the mounting surface, using four #10 star washers and four #10 x 3/4" self-tapping screws.
Alternative: Install the CPU using four customer-furnished, screws, washers and nuts.
4.
Attach the free end of the ground cable to chassis ground, either by using an existing screw or by using the
appropriate size self-tapping screw. Ensure that the ground cable is secured on an unpainted and rust-free
location out of the way of any obstructions.
