CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION

2.2.1Rack Mounting the EMC38-12

Before installing the EMC38-12, care must be taken to ensure that the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable with the EMC38-12 installed. In order to allow for proper cooling within the rack, there must be a two inch clearance on either side of the unit. Refer to Chapter 1 for power and enviromental requirements.

The following procedure explain how to install the EMC38-12 in a 19-Inch rack.

1.Remove four cover screws (two from each side) located along the front edges of each side of the EMC38-12. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the screws.

Do not remove the cover from the EMC38-12.

2.Using the four cover screws removed in step 1, attach the rack mounting brackets to each end of the EMC38-12.
