2.2 Receipt Inspection
The RCP-GPIO Control Panel is inspected and tested prior to shipment
from the PESA factory. Upon receipt, please inspect the unit for shipping
damage. If damage is detected, notify the carrier immediately and hold all
packing material for inspection. If assistance is required, please contact
PESA Customer Service at the telephone number listed in the front of this
manual.
After unpacking, compare all parts received against the packing list. If the
unit is undamaged and all components have been received, proceed with
installation.
2.3 Location and Mounting
The RCP-GPIO Control Panel has been designed to fit in a standard
E.I.A. 19" equipment rack and use two rack units of space (3.5"). An area
should be selected where the ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C
inside the equipment rack, and where air can circulate freely. The control
panel should be mounted in an area convenient to control and power
connections. Sufficient space must be provided behind the equipment
rack to allow for the control and power cables. When the RCP-GPIO
Control Panel is supplied as part of a system including interconnecting
cables, rack layout drawings are usually provided. While adherence to the
rack layout drawings is not required, it will ensure that the interconnection
cables are the proper lengths. All mounting holes should be utilized and
the hardware be securely tightened.
