Rack mounting

The unit can be mounted into a 19-inch standard rack if the optional rack-mounting adaptors (AJ-MA75P) are used. For the installation rails, it is recommended that the rail and bracket for 18" length (model number CC3001-99-0400) of SHASSIS TRAK be used. (The complete slide rail and bracket unit is not available from Panasonic) For further details, consult with your dealer.

Remove the screws on the left and right sides of the unit.

Use the removed screw to attach the inner members of the slide rails.

The length of the screws used is subject to restriction. If some of the mounting screws have been lost or misplaced, use screws which are less than 4" long in their place. Use four screws to secure each inner member.

Attach the outer member brackets to the rack.

Check that the height is the same for the left and right brackets.

Attach the AJ-MA75P rack-mounting adaptors with included 4 screws.

Remove the 4 rubber legs from the bottom of the unit, and install the unit in the rack. After the unit has been installed, check that it moves smoothly along the rails.

<Notes>

Keep the temperature inside the rack to between +41°F (5°C) and +104°F (40°C).

Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not topple over when the VTR is drawn out.
