Step 1: Install the
Shelf in the Rack
In a normal rack mount configuration the PathBuilder S600 shelf is 8.75" x 17.25"
x 11" including cables. Since the equipment is cooled with two internal fans,
clearance at the top is not needed. Convection cooled equipment should not be
mounted directly under the shelf but a least one rack unit below it. See Figure 4
for details. If the PathBuilder S600 is mounted in an enclosure, plan on enough
clearance at the front for cable and wiring service loops.
CAUTION:
Many of the integrated circuits on the modules are sensitive to static
electricity. Do not handle the plug-in modules without wearing a properly
grounded, antistatic, wrist strap. When removing the modules from the shelf,
place them printed-circuit side down on a nonconducting, static-free, flat surface.
