The Engine unit, takes up 8 RU, when fitted into a 19" rack. It operates from either 100-
120v or 200-250v, 50-60Hz with the mains inputs being auto- switching, as such there are no
switches to be set. At least two people are required to fit the Engine into a 19" rack as the unit
is quite heavy. If available it is suggested that a third person be made available for the initial
installation into the rack, such that a person can guide the Engine into the rack, from the rear.
The Engine should be fitted so that there is no restrictions to the ventilation, at the rear of
the unit. If external SCSI devices are to be connected it is recommended that these be placed
on a rack tray above or below the Engine.
It should be noted that typically the Engine unit is fitted with a boot drive with SCSI I.D. " 0
"( although the boot drive can be at any ID ). The Engine uses fans for its forced ventilation
system, these generate an amount of ambient noise. As stated before the Engine should be
located in an air conditioned machine room away from the studio and other heat generating
equipment.
1 Install the Engine into a 19" Rack unit. Once this is done, the front facia of the Engine must
be removed to allow 8 retaining screws to be fitted.
2 To mount the Engine into the rack, remove the front dress panel and insert 4 retaining
screws on to both the left and right rack mounts. Once this is done reattach the front dress
panel.
