5.4 Setting Up the Hardware
This section describes how to set up the hardware and provides
information about the system connectors and cables.
1. Set up the system stack. For details, see System Stack Setup
( } page 46) .
2. Connect the required signal cables. For details, see Signal Cable
Connections ( } page 54) .
3. Connect power cords to the power-inlet connectors of all modules.
For details, see Power Connections ( } page 59) .
5.4.1 System Stack Setup
CAUTION—Heavy Load, Bulky Device
The system modules are too heavy or bulky for one person alone to
handle safely. To avoid personal injury or damage to the system
modules, observe the following guidelines:
• Physical handling of the modules, including lifting or moving,
requires a team effort of two persons.
• A team effort is in particular required when lifting the modules into
the system stack or when removing them.
• Modules with carrying handles : Use the carrying handles that were
shipped with the modules to move or transport the modules. Never
move or lift the modules by the front doors. This will damage the
doors or the modules.
Modules without carrying handles : To lift or
move the modules, grasp the modules by the sides. Do not move or
lift the modules by the front door. This will damage the door or the
modules.
The system modules are arranged in a system stack. The arrangement
depends on the system configuration. The descriptions below refer to
the standard Vanquish system (one-stack configuration). The one-stack
configuration is the standard configuration, as it optimizes the flow path
for minimum delay volume.
