Fitting a module
To fit a module into the rack, refer to Fig. 3.1 and proceed as follows;
6) Ensure the rack is the right way up, with the feet at the bottom.
7) Undo the securing screws in the module front panel such that the screws are held
in the panel by their threads.
8) Gently slide the module into the guide rails until it engages with the back plane
connector. If the module does not go in easily, check it lines up with the connector
and that the guide rails are positioned correctly. Firm pressure is required to seat
the module correctly.
9) Tighten the four securing screws on the module front panel.
Caution
When mounting the benchtop version, ensure adequate air flow is
maintained; do not obscure the ventilation holes on the left- and right-
hand sides of the unit. When mounting in a 19 in. frame, ensure there is
sufficient air gap at the sides of the enclosure.
Warning
Unoccupied module slots in the rack must always be covered by the
purpose made blanking plates provided. Do not operate the equipment
with the blanking plates removed.
Warning
Ensure that all power to the rack is disconnected before fitting or
removing a module.
Note
During item (8) ensure that the fins on the module are correctly located in
the left hand and right hand guide rails.
