OMNI 4000/7000 Installation Guide – Rev H
To safely install a panel mount for an extended back panel, follow these instructions:
1. Verify that the panel, cabinet or rack used
to house the flow computer is a bonded
metal surface and is connected to an Earth
Ground.
2. Confirm that the mounting panel meets
specifications, including thickness, and will
support the weight of the flow computer.
Go to Section 8 for technical
specifications.
•
Based on flow computer weight, the minimum recommended thickness of the
panel or plate used for mounting is 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).
•
If providing additional rear panel support before installation, the minimum
thickness recommendation is 1/8 inch (3.2 mm).
Cut out the mounting panel to
3.
specifications.
4. Slide the chassis into the cutout.
5. Tighten the mounting screws on the
mounting brackets at the top and bottom of
the chassis.
6. Connect the Earth Ground from the cabinet
or rack to the Earth Ground stud on the
back of the chassis.
7. Verify that the surface where the extended
back panel will be mounted is grounded.
8. Mount the extended back panel using the
factory-provided mounting screws and
standoffs.
The OMNI 4000 (and the OMNI
7000 with the short-extended back
panel) uses 5 screws. The OMNI
7000 with the standard extended
back panel uses 12 screws.
The OMNI 4000 back panel contains 6 holes, but only 5 can be used to mount the
back panel because the 64-pin ribbon cable from the motherboard must be routed
under the back panel.
