The PANLOC system of installing equipment con-
veniently and securely is a product of Mcintosh
research. By depressing the two PANLOC buttons
on the front panel, the instrument slide can be lock-
ed firmly in place or it can be unlocked so that the
chassis can slide forward, giving you easy access to
the top and rear panels.
The trouble-free life of an electronic instrument is
greatly extended by providing sufficient ventilation
to prevent the buildup of high internal temperatures
that cause deterioration. Allow enough clearance so
that cool air can enter at the bottom of the cabinet
and be vented from the top. With adequate ventila-
tion the instrument can be mounted in any position.
The recommended minimum space for installation
is 15 inches (38.1 cm) deep, 17 inches (43.2 cm) wide,
and 6 inches (15.2 cm) high.
To install the instrument in a Mcintosh cabinet,
follow the instructions that are enclosed with the
cabinet. For any other type of installation follow
these instructions:
1. Open the carton and remove the PANLOC
brackets, hardware package, and mounting
template from the carton. Remove the C 29 from its
plastic bag and place it upside down on the shipping
pallet; unscrew the four plastic feet from the bottom
of the chassis.
2. Mark the cabinet panel.
Place the mounting template in the position on the
cabinet panel where the instrument is to be install-
ed, and tape it in place. The broken lines that repre-
sent the outline of the rectangular cutout also repre-
sent the outside dimensions of the chassis. Make
sure these lines clear shelves, partitions, or any
equipment. With the template in place, first mark the
six A and B holes and the four small holes that
locate the corners of the cutout. Then, join the four
corner markings with pencil lines, using the edge of
the template as a straightedge.
3. Drill Holes
Use a drill with a 3/16 inch bit held perpendicular to
the panel and drill the six A and B holes. Then, using
a drill bit slightly wider than the tip of your saw
blade, drill one hole at each of two diagonally op-
posite corners. The holes should barely touch the in-
side edge of the penciled outline. Before taking the
next step, make sure that the six A and B holes have
been drilled.
4. Saw the Panel Cutout
Saw carefully on the inside of the penciled lines.
First make the two long cuts and then the two short
cuts. After the rectangular opening has been cut out,
