CAUTION: The rack must be located in a clean environment. Do not expose the rack to

dripping water or corrosive atmospheres containing carbon dust, metal particles, or

other contaminants. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to or

destruction of the equipment.

Use the following procedure to install the Rack and Power Supply

module. Before you begin, make certain that you have provided

enough space for the Rack, wiring, and terminal strips or other

devices that must be mounted near the Rack. Make certain that the

panel is sturdy enough to support the Rack and all modules that it

will hold. Including connectors attached to module faceplates, a

fullyĆloaded 6ĆSlot Rack weighs approximately 40 lbs. A fullyĆloaded

10ĆSlot Rack weighs between 70 and 80 lbs. A fullyĆloaded 16ĆSlot

Rack weighs between 105Ć115 lbs.
Step 1.

Mount the Rack on a panel or cabinet made of heavy

gauge steel sturdy enough to hold the Rack, all of the

hardware modules that will go into the Rack, and the

terminal strip/connector assemblies for I/O modules. The

connector end of each terminal strip/connector assembly

is attached to the appropriate module faceplate. The

terminal strip end of each assembly can be mounted on

the panel itself or on lashing bars attached to the panel.

Refer to the instruction manual for each individual module

in your installation for more specific information. Follow the

procedure below to install the Rack.
a) Drill four holes in the panel using the appropriate

mounting pattern in Appendix D.

b) In each hole, screw in one 1 1/4" 20Ćthread Tap titet

bolt, leaving approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the thread

exposed.

c) Remove the large nameplate bracket (labeled

AutoMax") from the rack by removing the three screws

near the base holding it to the cable guide area.

d) Position the Rack against the panel at a slight angle so

that the bottom is a few inches away from the panel.

Place the top of the Rack against the panel so that the

upper two bolts are visible through the larger part of

the bolt holes at the top of the Rack.
Carefully slide the Rack down so that the bolts are

wedged in the top (smaller) area of the bolt holes,

while at the same time moving the lower portion of the

Rack toward the cabinet or panel onto the lower bolts.

The lower bolts should be firmly wedged against the

upper edge of the lower bolt holes on the Rack.

Tighten all the bolts.

Step 2.

Mount the Power Supply module in the Rack following the

steps below.
a) Take the Power Supply module out of its shipping

container and antiĆstatic bag, being careful not to

touch the connectors on the back of the module.

b) Remove the two keyswitch keys which are taped to the

front of the module. Insert the module into the leftmost

and widest slot in the Rack. Use a screwdriver to attach
