Assembling the X-Rack

The X-Rack unit is normally shipped either as an empty rack (SSL Part No. 729935X1), a part filled (custom) rack o r as a ful ly loaded u nit; f or example, a unit fitt ed with eight 729618X 1 D ynamics modules (SSL Part No. 729935X2) – if you have purchased a fully loaded unit you should skip the rest of Section 3.1.

In the case of empty or part filled racks, any empty module slots will be co vered by blank panels which will need to be removed before fitting additional modules.

Do not attempt to fit or remove modules with power applied. Always switch the rack off and remove the power cord prior to working on this unit. When fitting or removing modules, it is advisable to observe suitable ESD precautions. Take care when handling modules and blank panels; sharp corners may be present.

Modules are fitted from the front of the X-Rack, normally starting from the left hand end. Note that it is recommended that any required blank panels (SSL Part No. 729618X2) are fitted prior to fitting modules. Each m odule plu gs into th e back plane; us e th e two 8mm M3 count er sunk screws supplied with the module or blank to fix the item to the front of the rack – a 2mm AF hex key is supplied with the X-Rack unit. The rear connector panel or blank should be screwed to the rear of the case using the two 8mm M3 button head screws supplied with the module. The en d result should be a un it that is fully loaded with modules and/or blank panels. For ease of fitting, do not tighten the screws until all modules and/or blank panels have been fitted.

To ensure peak operating performance, please ensure all rear panel fixing screws are securely ti ghtened; warping on the rear of the chassis may be observed – this is no cause for concern.

Mounting

The X-Rack unit is designed to be rack mounted or free standing. It is 4RU (178mm/7 inches ) high. Its depth is:

180 mm/7.2 inches

255 mm/10.2 inches including connectors

The unit does not require rack shelves. A 1RU space should normally be provided above the unit.

The unit is supplied fitted with both feet and rack ears. If the unit is to be rack mounted the feet should be removed using the supplied 2.5 mm AF hex driver. The same driver can be used to remove the rack ears if the unit is to be free standing.

Feet and rack ears are fixed using M4 x 8mm screws.

Do not replace them with longer screws as this may damage the rack electronics.
