Control Head and Hardware Installation
Installing the Control Head Into Your Computer
Follow the steps below to install the control
head and junction panel into your computer and to connect the transceiver and control head.
I .
Disconnect your computer’s
A.C.
power cord from the power outlet before installing the
control head.
2. Remove the cabinet from the
PC.
3.
Select an empty drive bay and install the control head into the bay using the hardware
supplied. The threaded mounting holes on the side
of
the control head chassis
usually
align with equivalent holes in the
PC
chassis. However, since there is not a universal
standard
for the spacing
of
these holes, you may find there
is
no way
to adequately secure
the control head to the computer chassis. You may wish
to consider situating the control
head on a desk-top in such cases.
4.
Install the 2-port junction panel into an empty
stot
on the rear panel of your computer and
plug the cable into the connector on the rear panel
of the control head.
5.
Connect the 2.5m
(8
ft.)
control head cable from the front panel
of
the
505DSP
transceiver to the
HDE I 5
connector on the junction panel.
NOTE:
If you use your own
cable, it
MUST
be
100%
shielded and not longer than
23
meters (75
ft.).
6.
Connect the
76
cm
(2.5
ft.)
jumper cable from the
DE9
socket on the junction panel to
your computer’s serial
port.
