3.2 Diamond-VT Physical Setup

The Diamond-VT is shipped completely assembled with two 120 VAC power cords for use in the United States and Canada.

Immediately upon receipt, check the shipping carton for damage from mishandling. Contact us at once by the means easiest for you (see Warranty on page A-xv)if the carton has been mishandled or displays any signs of damage.

Floor Model

The Diamond-VT is heavy (about 92 pounds fully loaded) and requires two people to lift and carry it safely. Place the Diamond-VT on a level surface and make sure there is adequate space in the front and back of the unit for proper cooling and airflow. Continue with the general instructions.

Rack Mount

The Diamond-VT fully loaded is heavy (about 86 pounds). The unit should be handled with care and requires two people to lift, carry and/or install it safely.

The Diamond Array can be mounted via several different methods in a 19” rack with 3U (5.25”) of vertical space required. Air flow should not be restricted in any way.

Installation in a rack may create a differential between the room ambient temperature and the internal ambient temperature in the rack. While the maximum internal operating temperature of the Diamond-VT is 47°C, you should not run the system at the maximum temperature for extended periods. Therefore, ensure that the room ambient temperature is kept below 30°C for best operation.

Each side of the rack mount Diamond-VT chassis has three pairs of mounting holes. One is located near the front of the rack, one near the unit’s center of gravity, and one near the rear of the rack. The holes accommodate 10/32 screws but the screws can protrude no farther than .375 inches into the rack.

Spaced rail pairs in some rackmount cabinets.

You can mount the Diamond-VT using two sets of rail pairs spaced to accommodate the overall length of the unit (approximately 23 inches). Mount using the rack mount brackets on the front and rear of the unit fastened to the rail pairs using 10/32 pan head screws with lock and flat washers.

Rack mount cabinets with stationary shelf or tray

system. The shelf or tray must be able to support at least 125 pounds. The shelf or tray must be installed and secured to the rack before installing the Diamond-VT. Secure the front of the array to the rack with 10/32 screws, locks and flat washers.

Sliding shelf or tray type systems

be used under any circumstances.

Two point open rack system. The rack must be

strong enough to support the Diamond Array properly. Mounting brackets should be moved to the centermost mounting holes and secured using 10/32 screws.

CAUTION

Do not mount multiple Diamond-VT units on a two-rail rack or mount the array above the midpoint of a two-rail rack system.

Do not mount the Diamond-VT on any kind of rail-type system. The array is too heavy and does not have the proper hole pattern for rails.

Insure the Diamond-VT has adequate air flow and continue with the general instructions.
