AS1600 6U Rackmount case
Fitting Modules
The modules are fitted into place using No.4 2.9mm diameter, 10mm long self tap screws.
When using a mounting hole for the first time, firm pressure must be applied when turning the screw for about the
first turn to tap a thread into the steel. Excessive force is not necessary, but a good fitting cross-head type screwdriver
should be used and a firm grip. Once a thread has been broken, the screw should screw in fairly easily.
If you have a module whose circuit board is really close to the edge its front panel in the far left or far right case
position, it may be necessary to place insulating tape over the nut in the side of the case (rack mount ear nut) to prevent
the module shorting out with the case. Ensure when you fit a modules on the far left or right that its PCB does not short
out on the cases. This is unlikely, but depends on the design of the module being fitted.
It is advisable to only fit one module at a time, and test each before fitting another. Always ensure the mains cable
is disconnected each time you fit a module. The problem of testing all modules at once is that if there is a problem, you
will not know which one is causing the problem.
Problems are nearly always down to the user fitting a module incorrectly.
Rack Ears
These fit to the side of the case using the screws provided. There is no need to fit these when not rack-mounting.
Power Supply
Before plugging into the mains, ensure the switch on the bottom is selected for the correct voltage of your supply.
115V (USA) or 230V (Europe).
Ensure all empty spaces in your rack are covered over with blanking panels so access into the case is not pos-
sible.
