mount kit and follow the procedure described below.
Specified rack mount kit : RMM-10
n
If a rack mount kit other than the specified one is used, the
unit may not correctly install in 19-inch standard rack.
Parts of the RMM-10
.Rack tools 2 pcs
.Right rack mount adaptor 1 pc
.Left rack mount adaptor 1 pc
.Rack tool attaching screws 6 pcs
(B4 x6 : 7-682-560-09)
.Rack tool attaching screws 6 pcs
(B4 x10 : 7-682-560-10)
1-5-1. Precautions for Rack Mounting
w
.To prevent the rack from falling or moving, fix the rack
on a flat and steady floor using bolts or others fixings.
If the rack falls due to the weight of the equipment, it
may cause death or injury.
.Be sure to use the specified rack mount kit.
If not, injury may result and the equipment may fall due
to insufficient strength.
.After rack mounting, be sure to tighten the screws on the
rack angle and fix the unit in the rack.
If the screws on the rack angle are not tightened, the unit
may slip from the rack and fall, causing injury.
c
When mounting the unit in the rack, note the following:
.Be sure to mount in the rack with two persons or more.
.Be careful not to catch your fingers or hands in the rack
mount rail or others.
.Mount in the rack in a stable position.
n
If several units are mounted in a rack, it is recommended
that a ventilation fan is installed to prevent temperature rise
inside the rack.
3. Insert the VIF-40 board to the unit from its end in the
direction of the arrow. Align the two holes of the
connector panel with the two dowels of the rear panel,
and set it on the BE-28 board.
4. Press part A to insert the CN101 connector of the VIF-
40 board (back side) to the CN8101 connector of the
BE-28 board.
5. Fix the VIF-40 board first with the supplied two
screws (PSW3 x6).
6. Secure the connector panel of the VIF-40 board to the
rear panel using the two screws (B3 x6) removed in
step 2.
