3.2.2 Mounting and removing
The TWTA may be operated as a standalone benchtop unit, or it may be installed in a 19" rack.
If rack mounting is desired, first remove the module from the cabinet, then install the module in the rack.
NOTE: Due to the weight of the unit, the installation or removal of the amplifier is a two-person operation.
Before removing the amplifier, disconnect power, RF, and any other external interface connectors. On the
rear of the unit, remove any screws used to connect support brackets to the amplifier. On the front of the unit,
remove all of the screws holding the front panel to the cabinet. Carefully slide the entire amplifier out of the
front of the cabinet.
CAUTION:
Never rack mount the TWTA using the front panel alone. The chassis is
likely to be damaged unless its weight is supported. Bottom support rails
or side slide rails must be used in a rack mount configuration.
See Figure 3-1 (below) for the locations of threaded holes that may be used for supplementary support of the
rear of the TWTA.
Figure 3-1. Mounting Support Holes
If bottom supports are used for rack mount installation of multiple units, the amplifiers should be separated
vertically by at least 1 3/4 inches. This will allow room for necessary support rails and facilitate installation
and removal of the units.
