WARNING
The installations described in the diagram should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.
■ Mounting into the Rack
The CPU (WJ-MPU955A) should be mounted into the rack as shown in the following diagram. Here are the steps:
1. Install the rack mounting brackets on both sides of the unit.
Using the mounting screws (8 pcs.) for the rack mounting brackets, fix them firmly.
2. Mount the unit into the rack by fixing the rack mounting screws (locally procured: 4 pcs). (Refer to the following illustra-
tion.)
Important:
• The cooling fan inside the unit is perishable and must be replaced periodically.
• If the rack is subject to vibration, secure the rear of the unit to the rack by using additional mounting brackets (locally pro-
cured).
• To avoid loosening, secure the mounting screws surely.
• Mount the unit into the rack with a space equivalent to approx. 1 unit (44 mm) or more to separate from other devices.
• To prevent the unit from overheating, do not block the ventilation openings or slots in the cover.
