Installation Guidelines

Mounting: Due to its weight (19.40 kg), ensure the rack is mounted to a high-strength industrial cabinet backplane capable of supporting the static load.
Ventilation: The high power output of this unit generates heat; ensure clear airflow paths through the rack and sufficient cabinet ventilation.
Wiring: Connect the AC supply according to local electrical codes, ensuring the ground connection is established to the cabinet common ground.
Module Insertion: Always power down the unit before inserting or removing CPU or I/O modules to prevent electrical arcing or damage to the backplane connectors.
