Hardware Options CONNECTING EXTERNAL OPTIONS To attach peripherals and make other external connections to your unit, refer to pages 9-11 for connector locations and appendix A for pin assignments. SYSTEM MEMORY You can order your CPU factory-configured for many configurations of SDRAM. You can reconfigure the SDRAM capacity by changing the SDRAM Double In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) on the unit's motherboard.
ISA/PCI EXPANSION The 1614 comes with a choice of backplanes: eight ISA and four PCI or five ISA and seven PCI available expansion slots. To Add ISA/PCI Cards Check that the memory, I/O configuration, and processor requirements for the board you want to install do not conflict with the CPU and memory maps of boards already installed in your system.
Slide the card into the slot. Push down on the card evenly until it firmly rests in the card cage connectors. Note: DO NOT force the card or apply uneven pressure. Secure the card's ORB to the 1614 by replacing and tightening the screw that was removed.

Slide the 3.5" drive bay approximately 1" towards the back of the chassis to free it from the latches. Note: It may be necessary to remove cards that are in the way. Lift to remove the drive bay. Figure 12. 3.5" drive assembly. Add or replace 3.5"...
Installation Note: The procedures in the section are intended for service personnel only. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The system’s rugged design allows it to be installed in most industrial environments. You can refer to the unit’s electrical and environmental specifications and tolerances (page 17) for more detailed information.
Excessive Heat The chassis is designed to dissipate heat with force convection cooling (drawing air from the front and exhausting hot air out the back). Therefore, the rack must provide sufficient air circulation paths in the front and back areas. The chassis temperature is usually elevated above ambient temperatures in a rack environment.
Location and Enclosure Place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports. • Account for the unit’s dimensions when selecting an installation location or enclosure • (see page 15). Place the unit at a comfortable working level. • Mount the unit in an upright position.

To Rack-Mount the Unit Attach the unit securely in the rack using the proper mounting hardware for your rack. Figure 14. Installing the mounting hardware. Torque screws to 35 in/lbs (3.95 Nm). Install the unit in the rack, using standard rack-mounting hardware, so that the drive access door faces outward.
To Wall-Mount the Unit Remove the rack mount ears with handles by removing the screws holding them in place. Replace the screws. Attach wall-mounting brackets (Xycom order number 1600-WMB) on both sides of the unit. Figure 15. Installing wall-mounting hardware.
THE POWER SUPPLY See page 17 for the electrical specifications. To Attach the Power Cable If your unit is equipped with -48 volt DC power supply, you must create a power cable before you can connect your unit to a power source. See "Creating a DC Power Supply Cable"...
