Mechanical Installation
The installation instructions in this chapter are for the PDR100 Video Disk Recorder
and its companion units, the PDX103 Disk Expansion Unit, the RS-422 Connector
Panel, and the XLR100 Audio Bypass Unit. This equipment is designed to be rack
mounted. The PDR100 and the PDX103 are mounted to the rack with rack slides and
face forward in the rack. The RS 422 Control Panel and the XLR100 mount at the rear
of the rack using front panel attaching screws. Figure 3-1 shows an installation that
includes the PDR100 and the PDX 103 mounted in a rack.

The position of the units in the rack must be considered because of their weight. If the
rack is not firmly mounted to the floor or vertically supported, the units should be
located low enough to not cause the rack to tip when the cabinets are pulled out on the
rack mounting slides.
