• In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or
more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
• Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each
component in the rack.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work up.
• Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
• Always keep the rack’s trays and card’s slots closed when not
servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
Installation Precautions
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation
of the RMX 2000:
•
Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the
RMX 2000 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU
operating in case of a power failure.
• Place the RMX 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount
it on 19” rack.
• The airflow of the RMX 2000 is from right to left. Be sure that the
areas in the left and right side of the system are clear for proper
ventilation.
When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be
observed:
• Wear a grounding strap
• Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or
connector pins
• Keep components in anti-static bags, when not installed in the RMX2000
