Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance

Installing the SCE 1000 Platform

Step 3 View the bottom panel by lifting the SCE 1000, placing your hands around the SCE 1000 sides and lifting the SCE 1000 from underneath. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

There are four marked locations, indicating where to affix the rubber feet (see figure above).

Step 4 Attach the rubber feet by removing the adhesive strips and affix the rubber feet onto the marked locations (on the bottom panel).

Step 5 Replace the SCE 1000 platform firmly on the tabletop or workbench.

Remember to check for proper ventilation. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) on each side for proper ventilation and 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for ventilation.and power cord clearance.

This completes the general workbench or tabletop installation.

Proceed to section, Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection (on page 4-10)to continue the installation.

Rack-Mounting a SCE 1000 Platform

You can mount the SCE 1000 platform to a 19” rack. There are two standard types of equipment racks, and the appropriate brackets for each are provided in the enclosed kit.

19” rack with front rack posts — the mounting kit includes two mounting brackets as illustrated below.

19” rack with front and back rack posts — in addition to the mounting brackets illustrated below, the mounting kit includes two crossrail supports that the unit slides onto.

Mounting Brackets for 2-post Rack

Mounting Brackets for 4-post Rack

The SCE 1000 mounts to the two front rack posts with brackets that attach to the front of the SCE 1000 The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.3 inches (44 cm).

Note Remember to leave a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 1000 and at the rear for adequate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.

Because the inlet and exhaust ports (vents) for cooling air are located at both sides of the chassis, respectively, multiple SCE 1000s can be stacked in a rack with no vertical clearance.
