MB21 Installation

The MB21 may be installed in one of two ways: (1) free-standing on a desktop or rack shelf, or (2) fastened directly
to a rack using support brackets (supplied).
WARNING To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover of the MB21 chassis. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. The MB21 chassis is to be installed and serviced by qualified personnel only.
To install the MB21:
1. Unpack the box and visually inspect the package contents for any evidence of shipping damage. See the
Important Notice document in the box for a list of contents.
2. In addition to the contents of the MB21 box, you may need to have the following items available:
• 5/16 hex nut driver
• Screwdriver with Phillips #1 and #2 bits
• Right-angle ratchet screwdriver or Allen key (for rack screws)
• 8 x rack screws
3. Place the MB21 on a solid surface.
CAUTION The MB21 should always be moved or lifted by two persons. The handles on the front of the
chassis should be used for a solid grip.
4. Using a 5/16 hex nut driver, remove the hex head screws
support brackets in place. Remove the support brackets.
5. If the MB21 is to be installed on a desktop or rack shelf, screw the rubber footpads into the base of the
chassis. Move it to the desired location, and then skip ahead to step #11. Otherwise, continue to step #6.
6. Position the empty MB21 in the rack at the desired location.
TIP If space allows, put two screws into the rack posts just below the bottom of the MB21, and then rest
the MB21 on those screws using the alignment notches at the bottom of the chassis mounting flanges.
This will line up the screw holes on the MB21 flanges with the corresponding holes in the rack posts.
7. Using a right-angle ratchet screwdriver or Allen key, secure the front chassis mounting flanges to the rack
(see red arrows in figure below; screws not provided).
NOTE If necessary, you may remove the handles on the front of the chassis by using a Phillips #2 screw-
driver to unscrew the four handle screws (see
