UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Examine the shipping carton for damage before unpacking the unit. If the carton is
damaged, attempt to open it in the presence of the shipping agent. If this is not
possible then document or photograph the carton damage for a matter of record. If
undamaged then retain the carton and packing material for future use.
Remove the packing material from the top of the unit and lift the RX-400A Receiver free
of the carton. Next remove the clear plastic bag from the unit. Inspect the unit for
external damage with particular attention to dents or bent sheet metal. Also inspect
front panel components and rear panel connectors for damage. If external damage is
evident then remove top and bottom covers of the RX-400A Receiver by removing
multiple screws along the cover edges, then inspect all the internal assemblies for
damage such as cracked circuit cards or broken or loose components. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT IF INTERNAL DAMAGE IS NOTED. Upon
finding any damage contact the shipping agent and contact the TEN-TEC factory to
arrange for unit repair.

MOUNTING
The RX-400A may be mounted as a single unit or side-by-side with another 2U half-rack
piece of equipment in a standard EIA 19” rack enclosure. For single unit rack
installation please contact TEN-TEC to secure the correct rack mount kit. For most
common mounting arrangements the RX-400A will be installed side-by-side with
another RX-400A Receiver or companion RCU-400A Receiver Control Unit to fill a 2U
rack opening. Side-by-side mounting is accomplished by using the RM-400-2 Rack
Mount Kit. The RX-400A has 3 threaded inserts on each side of the chassis to accept
10-32 x 0.50” long screws for use with customer furnished chassis slides. The hole
pattern is compatible with Jonathan model 375QD or equivalent.
The rack mount kit contains 4 pieces as listed in Table 3-1.
