Studio 700 Assembly
Place all the parts out on a flat surface as shown in Figure 1. Depending on the
configuration you have chosen you may have more or less Skins (and associated M4
bolts).
Figure 1 – Studio 700 parts laid out
The Skins should all be orientated in the same direction with the power socket cutouts at
the back.

Join the Skins together using M4 pan-head bolts. These bolts will utilize the holes on the
left-side of the skins without bushes as shown above.

ED7xx Busboard Installation
We would now recommend installing your power distribution while you still have
unhindered access to the inside of the case.
Fit 8x M3x12mm SEM bolts to the Busboard Carrier Plate and
secure using M3 x 5mm nylon spacers as shown at left.
Install the M4 cup washers on to the
appropriate busboard mounting
locations as show at left. The
washers are cupped on one side
and this cupped side should be
placed face-down over the bolt first
so that the larger flat surface of the
washer remains exposed.
Mount the Busboard Carrier Assembly in to the skins and secure using the M4 Nut-
Washers
Install busboards and secure using 8x M3 nuts check the orientation of each busboard
before mounting to ensure that there is easy access between the power tabs on the
busboard and their destination path.
Install Busboard Power Sets and Busboard Cable Sets as required for your selection of
busboards and the DC Power Cable if using the rear access hole for power entry. Refer to
DC_DISTRIBUTION_SYSTEMS for guidance on this.

Position the 2 outer Rails and secure using M5 countersunk bolts. These Rails should be
lowered onto the Skin at a slight angle to allow the lip on the top of the Skin to slip in to the
slot on the top face of the Rail. You should then be able to rotate the Rail back to vertical
as you do so the Rail should snap over the half-shears near the top edges of the Skin.

There should be no gap between the top of the Skin (lip) and the top slot of the rail

Insert one of the centre Rails making sure that the Rail ends rest against the Side Plate
itself and not on the half-shears. Also ensure that the lip on the Rail is furthest from its
partner rail for each 3U section.
Loosely secure using M5 countersunk bolts. Repeat for the 2nd center Rail (the 2 lip faces
should now be closest together)
Tighten up all bolts ensuring that the Rails are correctly aligned.

If using our Studio End Cheeks then secure them in to place using the M6 countersunk
bolts. Note that the End Cheeks have 2 ‘extensions’. These are the ‘feet’ for the assembly
and should be orientated furthest away from the Rails..
