General Installation Precautions
Attention:
The RMX 4000 can weigh up to 40kg when all slots are occupied. Two people are required to lift the MCU out of the box and also when installing it in a rack.
•Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX 4000 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure. The RMX 4000 requires either two (DC) or three (AC) power supply cables, each connected to a power supply.
•Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
•When handling electronic components, standard
—Wear a grounding strap
—Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins
—Keep components in
Rack Mount Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be followed when installing the
RMX 4000 on a rack:
•The RMX 4000 has a height of 6U. Ensure this space is available on the rack.
•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•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.
