Remove the two plastic blocks located behind each
side of the front panel. Fasten the two mounting
brackets to the space made available.
Note
The Processor Unit does not contain any fans. It will
be very warm, even during normal operation. This is
by design. Airflow around the unit will significantly
increase the effect of the heat sinks and thereby also
the lifetime of the unit. Such an air flow is highly
recommended. The computer has been tested and
verified with ambient temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius. A lower ambient temperature
is however positive for the its lifetime.
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.
f Make sure that the installation method allows for the physical vibration,
movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
Note
To allow future maintenance, you must mount the unit with its cables and connectors
available for easy access.
3 Make sure that the chosen location meets the installation requirements.
4 Provide ample space around the computer.
You must be able to reach and use the front and rear mounted connectors and on/off
switches. It is also important that you allow for easy access to all the computer cables,
and enough space for inspection, maintenance and parts replacement. If relevant:
