WARNING
:
Follow instructions carefully. Do not place the equipment on an unstable
support, such as a cart, stand, or table. The equipment could fall and
cause equipment damage or cause injury.
• Position the rack to allow easy access to the front and rear of the equipment.
• Be sure to allow room behind the equipment rack for the cables required. Do not press
the cables against the rear of the equipment when closing doors because it stresses the
cables and may shorten their life.
• Do not overload the rack or load it unevenly. Secure the rack to a solid surface. Make
certain that the rack and mounting rails are strong and rigid enough to support all the
equipment in the rack.
To mount the DXL8000, do the following. (Mounting the DXL8000 into an equipment rack is
easier if one person holds the unit while another person installs the mounting screws.)
1. Lift the DXL8000 IDU into place, lining up the mounting holes with the holes in the rack
mounting rails as shown in the figure.
2. Install the two bottom screws first and tighten securely with lock washers to prevent
loosening.
3. Install the top two screws and tighten securely with lock washers to prevent loosening.
