Introduction and Installation
Overview
Using industry-standard IP networks, NUCLEUS™and
NUCLEUS™-DM provide control and monitoring of CCS network
devices including the following:
•X75
TM multi-path converter/synchronizer
•NEO
TM and 6800+modular platforms
• PlatinumTM, Integrator®, Integrator®Gold,and PanaceaTM routers
• Videotek®(certain) test and measurement products
• IconLogo devices
NUCLEUS (see Figure 1-1 on page 3) is a rack-mount control panel
and NUCLEUS-DM (see Figure 1-2 on page 3) is a desk-mount control
panel.
The type of devices that you can control with NUCLEUS and
NUCLEUS-DM depends on the software license control options that
are activated on the panel. Your NUCLEUS control panel is shipped
with at least one software license activated. Table 1-1 on page 2 lists
each software license control option that can be purchased for
NUCLEUS.

Installation
NUCLEUS rack-mount control panel can be mounted in a standard
width 19-in. (48.3 cm) equipment rack. See the NUCLEUS Product
Safety Instructions and Regulatory Compliance manual for important
information about installing rack-mountable equipment.
NUCLEUS-DM desk-mount control panel can be mounted into a desk
or tabletop. For more information, see “Mounting NUCLEUS-DM into
a Desk or Tabletop” on page 6.

6 NUCLEUS Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction and Installation
Mounting NUCLEUS-DM into a Desk or Tabletop
Follow these steps to mount NUCLEUS-DM into a desk or tabletop:
1. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 1-5 on page 6 and
Figure 1-9 on page 8, make a cutout in the desk or tabletop.
If the surface of the desk or table you want to set NUCLEUS-DM
into is more than 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) thick, you must notch the desk’s
or table’s under surface to provide space for the AC power cord. As
an alternative to notching the under surface, you can cut out a space
for the power cord. The dimensions for notching the desk or table
under surface are included in Figure 1-9 on page 8.
