CAUTION:
Make sure to install the rack rails with the shelf at the top of the rail. If you install the rail
upside down, the rail blocks the encoder air vents, which can result in overheating the encoder.

Mounting the Encoder
To mount the encoder in a rack:
1.
Using both hands, grasp the outside corners of the plastic front bezel and slowly pull to
detach it from the encoder and expose the mount holes. See Figure 3-3.
2.
Gently slide the encoder to rest on the rack rails.
3.
Push the encoder back until the rack-mount holes in the front of the encoder line up with
the rack posts.
4.
Insert four screws through the mount holes in the front of the encoder through to the
corresponding holes on the rack posts.
5.
Tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
6.
Carefully replace the front bezel of the encoder, making sure you do not damage the air
filters.

Installing Encoder Software
Your encoder comes from the factory with the latest released software version installed.
Harmonic periodically releases software updates. You can download new software to the
encoder using NMX. See the NMX online help for instructions for how to download and begin
running new encoder software.
