Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM Chassis Installation

The Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM chassis is designed to be placed on a desktop or table, or mounted in a 19-or 23-inch rack (front or center mount). Installable feet are provided for desktop or table installations. Mounting brackets are provided for mounting in 19- or 23-inch racks.

NOTE:

Do not attach the rubber feet to the chassis if you plan to install it in a rack. The rubber feet will cause the chassis to exceed 3U in height, limiting the maximum number of chassis that can be installed in a rack.

You will need a large flat-blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver to install the 8620 chassis.

Placing the 8620 Chassis on a Desktop or Table

Procedure

To install the 8620 chassis on a desktop or table:

1.Make sure that the bottom of the chassis is clean so that rubber feet will stick to its surface.

2.Invert the chassis on a protected surface (to avoid scratching the paint).

3.Remove the protective backing from one of the rubber feet and place it in a corner about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) from each of the edges of the chassis, pressing down firmly to ensure proper bonding.

4.Repeat Step 3 for each of the remaining three feet.

5.Turn the chassis right side up and place on a flat surface where desired.
