    System Installation Chassis Installation Most of the system plug-in cards have highly sensitive components that could be damaged by static electricity. Whenever you handle any system cards, be sure to observe local electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. The mounting brackets supplied with the chassis are needed for tabletop installation. The top and bottom of each chassis also must be clear of objects to ensure proper air flow through the chassis.

These plates are screwed into place on the chassis to further ensure that the chassis arrives true to square, and is not distorted from its natural state after the rigors of shipping.

    Then, use the four 12-24 x 1/4” screws to mount the bracketed chassis into the rack.In order to accommodate the side by side IMACS cards, the front of the 3000 chassis has a bulge. Slide the IMACS 3000 chassis into the rack, being careful to insert the rear (power) section into the frame first.
  • Page 43 System Installation Chassis Installation If you are placing the chassis on a tabletop or other flat surface, be sure to leave enough clearance for air circulation through the system. Make sure the chassis is accessible from the front, and that it has at least 3/4 inches (2 cm) of room above it. Attach the metal brackets to the chassis sides, if desired.

    P1/U1, as labeled. 2.10.5 Blank Cards The IMACS 3000 sets the traditional IMACS card set of CPU, Server, User, WAN and Interface cards horizontally. The traditional convection cooled product is defeated by having the cards horizontal, and thus the need for fans to assure air flow in the chassis. Coupled with that need is the need to direct air in a slot, even if that card slot is vacant.
