Installing The Integrated Controller Into An Equipment Rack - AMX NetLinx Integrated Controller NI-4000 Instruction Manual

Installation and Upgrading

Installing the Integrated Controller into an Equipment Rack

Use either the rack-mounting brackets (supplied with the NI-4000/3000/2000 controller) for
equipment rack installations. Remove the mounting brackets for flat surface installations.
Before completing the install process, it is recommended that you complete any
firmware upgrade of the NetLinx Control Cards. This upgrade involves physically
cycling power to the unit and can become cumbersome if the unit is already installed
into a rack. Refer to the Upgrading the Controller and NXC Firmware section on
page 49 for more detailed information.
1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.
2. Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 22, using the screws supplied with
the unit. The mounting brackets can be rotated to accommodate your mounting needs.

3. Thread the necessary cables (from their terminal locations) through the opening in the
equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the cables to accommodate for movement during the
installation process.
4. Connect any corresponding DB9, CAT5, and mini-Phoenix connectors to their appropriate
locations on the rear of the Integrated Controller. Refer to the Connections and Wiring section
on page 17 for more detailed wiring and connection information.
5. Test the incoming wiring by connecting the Controller connectors to their terminal locations
and applying power. Verify that the unit is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent
repetition of the installation.
6. Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected power supply.
