Important Information
Avid recommends that you read all the installation instructions
thoroughly before installing the Compaq W8000 system into your rack
enclosure.
This optional rack-mount kit for the Compaq W8000 system is
comprised of the Compaq rack-mount kit and a rack-shelf added to
the kit by Avid. Install the rack-mount kit before making any
connections to the system. The Compaq W8000 system typically
requires five rack units with one additional rack unit for the rack-shelf.
The rack-mount kit includes a new front bezel that secures the
Compaq W8000 to your rack enclosure. The new rack-mont bezel does not
include the two USB connectors, the microphone jack, and the headphone jack
that are in the desktop version of the bezel. These connections are still
available on the back of the system.
Although Compaq provides a rack-mount kit for the Compaq W8000,
Avid has modified the kit to include a rack-shelf making the kit more
universal. This document provides instructions for the Compaq
rack-mount kit and the parts added to the kit by Avid.
This procedure requires two people for the complete installation.
