side of the socket. Orient the socket so the lettering is upright when viewed from the rear
panel.
– Install the back panel decal. The top of the decal is aligned with the top of the chassis.
The back panel components have now been installed. The back panel is shown in Figure 5.8.
5.4.3 Cable Clamps and Related Hardware
Some of the cable clamp mounting screws will not be accessible after the PWBs have been
installed. Therefore, they need to be installed first. Four of the screws that hold the cable clamps
also serve as mounting posts for the Plexiglas cover.
See the chassis layout drawing in Figure 5.5. Note the locations of the cable clamps. Note also
that four cable clamp positions are also identified as Plexiglas cover mounting posts.
– Find the cable clamp hardware package. There are eight sets in this package. Install the
cable clamps using the #6 hardware provided for the single-purpose cable clamps (those
not designated as also a Plexiglas cover mounting post). Note that the flat washer should
be positioned between the cable clamp and the lock washer/nut. Orient the cable clamps as
shown in Figure 5.5.
– Find the remaining four sets of hardware. Orient the cable clamps as shown in Figure 5.5.
The proper order of hardware is as follows (from bottom of chassis to top): screw head /
flat washer / cable clamp / chassis / lock washer / standoff / chrome spacer / flat washer /
screw head. The Plexiglas cover will be installed later.
5.4.4 Install Choke
The power supply choke mounting screws will not be accessible after the PWBs have been
installed. Therefore, they need to be installed first.
