Chapter 1- Hardware Description
•In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
•Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.
•Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
•Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
•Always keep the rack’s trays and board’s closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
Installation Precautions
When handling electronic components, standard
•Wear a grounding strap
•Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins
•Keep components in
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation of the RMX 2000:
•Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX 2000 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure.
•Place the RMX 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount it on 19” rack.
•The airflow of the RMX 2000 is from right to left. Be sure that the areas in the left and right side of the system are clear for proper ventilation.
