Site Requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe
installation and operation of the system.
Safety Requirements
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely
before operating the equipment.
•
Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors,
ungrounded power cables, frayed power cords, missing safety
grounds and so forth.
•
•
•
•
•
Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a
protective ground contact.
•
•
Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the
system at all times.
Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free
from obstruction.
•
•
Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RMX 2000 unit.
Do not use liquids around your equipment.
Rack Mount Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount
safety:
•
•
Keep the area around the RMX 2000 clean and free of clutter.
Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the
RMX 2000 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is
well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed
near a grounded power outlet.
•
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully
extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

Chapter 1- Hardware Description
•
•
•
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
•
•
•
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or
more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each
component in the rack.
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work up.
•
•
Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
Always keep the rack’s trays and board’s closed when not servicing,
to maintain proper cooling.
Installation Precautions
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation
of the RMX 2000:
•
Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the
RMX 2000 from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU
operating in case of a power failure.
•
•
Place the RMX 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount
it on 19” rack.
The airflow of the RMX 2000 is from left to right. Be sure that the
areas in the left and right side of the system are clear for proper
ventilation.
