Installing the Enix Processor Unit
The Processor Unit can be installed inside a console, inside a suitable cabinet, in a 19" rack or on a desk. When mounted on a horizontal foundation, for example inside a cabinet, rack or console, use the bottom plate with the two base rails. These are fitted with shock absorbers.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks, such as screwdrivers, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper 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 Ensure that the installation method allows for the physical vibration, movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
Note
In order to allow for future maintenance, we recommend to mount the unit with its cables and connectors available for easy access.
3 Verify 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.
Note
Make 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.
i Press it down.
j Secure the Processor Unit with the two front Allen bolts (C).
6 Connect the cables.
Note
When you connect the cables, make sure that they are all properly secured, and able to withstand the vibration and movements of the vessel.
