Installing the Enix Processor Unit
The Processor Unit can be installed inside a console, inside a suitable cabinet, in a 19"
rack or on a desk. When mounted on a horizontal foundation, for example inside a
cabinet, rack or console, use the bottom plate with the two base rails. These are fitted
with shock absorbers.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the
normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different
screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool
must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to
protect your equipment.
A suitable location for the Processor Unit must be defined prior to installation. Observe
the compass safe distance.
A The bottom plate is mounted with six bolts through
the computer chassis.
B
Each rail provides two holes for mounting to a
flat surface.
C Remove this bolt to release the rail from the
bottom plate.
Context
If you intend to mount the Enix Processor Unit in a 19”
rack, you can disregard this procedure. However, you
may then wish to remove the bottom plate and shock
absorbers as described in this procedure, as these will
not be required.
Procedure
1 Prepare the location and the necessary tools.
2 Observe the installation requirements.
a Depending on its physical properties, install the computer inside a console, in
a cabinet or 19” rack, or on a desk.
b Choose a position to fit the available cable lengths between the computer and
the other units it connects to.
c Observe the compass safe distance.
d Make sure that enough space is made available for maintenance purposes.
e Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating.

movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
