Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
A suitable location for the Processor Unit must be defined prior to installation. Observe the compass safe distance.
|
A |
The bottom plate is mounted with six bolts through the computer chassis. |
|
B |
Each rail provides two holes for mounting to a flat surface. |
|
C |
Remove this bolt to release the rail from the bottom plate. |
Context
If you intend to mount the Enix Processor Unit in a 19” rack, you can disregard this procedure. However, you may then wish to remove the bottom plate and shock absorbers
as described in this procedure, as these will not be required.
Procedure
|
1 |
Prepare the location and the necessary tools. |
|
2 |
Observe the installation requirements.
|
a |
Depending on its physical properties, install the computer inside a console, in a cabinet or 19” rack, or on a desk. |
|
b |
Choose a position to fit the available cable lengths between the computer and the other units it connects to. |
|
c |
Observe the compass safe distance. |
|
d |
Make sure that enough space is made available for maintenance purposes. |
|
e |
Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating. |
|
f |
Make sure that the installation method allows for the physical vibration, movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel. |
NoteIn order to allow for future maintenance, we recommend to mount the unit with its cables and connectors available for easy
access.
|
|
3 |
Make sure that the chosen location meets the installation requirements. |
|
4 |
Provide ample space around the computer.
You must be able to reach and use the front and rear mounted connectors and on/off switches. It is also important that you allow for easy access to all the cables, and enough space for inspection, maintenance and parts
replacement. If relevant, make sure that the space allows you to open the computer for unobstructed access to its internal parts.
NoteMake sure that you can access both the rear and front side of the computer after it has been installed.
|
|
5 |
Install the computer.
|
a |
Turn the Processor Unit cabinet upside down, and remove the bottom plate (A) with the shock absorbers. |
|
b |
Observe the four holes in the shock absorbers and the bottom plate (B). |
|
c |
Using the bottom plate as a template, mark the position of the mounting bolts on the foundation. |
|
d |
Mount the bottom plate back on the Processor Unit cabinet. |
|
e |
Disassemble the two base rails from the Processor Unit by removing the two front Allen bolts (C). |
|
f |
Remove the bolts, lift the Processor Unit up and forward. |
|
g |
Mount the two base rails on the foundation. |
|
h |
Place the Processor Unit onto the rails at their rear end. |
|
j |
Secure the Processor Unit with the two front Allen bolts (C). |
|
|
6 |
Connect the cables.
NoteDo not connect the Processor Unit to AC mains.
When you connect the cables, make sure that they are all properly secured, and able to withstand the vibration and movements
of the vessel.
