Mounting the PDX218
In addition to having room to make cable connections, the PDX 218 requires six
inches (15.25 cm) of clearance behind the rear panel for connectors and cable bends.
Adequate air flow must also be assured around the chassis to provide sufficient
cooling. (Operating ambient temperature will affect the amount of air circulation
required to keep the PDX218 within its temperature limitations.)
1. Pull the slide-out section to the fully extended position. See Figure 2-5.
WARNING: To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the PDX 218. The
PDX218 is too heavy for one person to install in the rack.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, insure that the rack is anchored to the floor
so that it cannot tip over when the PDX 218 is extended out of the rack.
2. Insert the ends of the chassis sections into the slide-out sections.
3. Push the chassis toward the rack until the chassis sections lock into the intermediate
sections.
4. Press the stop latches in the intermediate sections and push the chassis toward the
rack until the latches snap into their holes.

5. Again, press the stop latches and push the cabinet fully into the rack.
6. Insert and tighten the front panel retaining screws.
Rack Slide Adjustments
After installation, binding may occur if the slides are not properly adjusted. To adjust
the slides:
1. Slide the chassis out approximately 10 inches.
2. Slightly loosen the mounting screws holding the slides to the front of the rack and
allow the slides to seek an unbound position.
3. Tighten the mounting screws and check the slides for smooth operation by sliding
the chassis in and out of the rack several times.
4. Tighten the front panel retaining screws once the cabinet is in place within the rack
to complete the installation.
