Installing
This chapter describes the physical installation of your PDX208 and configuring it for
use with your Profile. The information includes:
• Mounting the PDX208 in the equipment rack.
• Making PDX208 rear panel cable connections.
• Turning power On.
• Configuring the PDX208.
Rack Mounting
The PDX208 installs in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack slides allow the
PDX208 to slide in and out without having to remove it from the rack. However, if
the rack does not already have rack slides installed, or if the slides are not correctly
positioned, you will have to use those shipped with the PDX208.
When determining the location of the PDX 208 in the rack, bear in mind that the unit
weighs approximately 51.5 pounds. Observe the following warnings:
WARNING: To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the PDX208. It is too
heavy for one person to install in the rack.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, insure that the rack is anchored to the floor
so that it cannot tip over when the PDX 208 is extended out of the rack.
