DEC 3000 Model 500/500S AXP Rackmount Installation

This document, "DEC 3000 Model 500/500S AXP Rackmount Installation" (EK-D355S-IN.B01, April 1993), serves as a comprehensive guide for Digital service personnel and self-maintaining customers. It provides detailed, step-by-step procedures for installing the DEC 3000 Model 500/500S AXP rackmount system into two specific cabinet types.

The guide is divided into two main chapters:

• Chapter 1: Focuses on the installation process for the IEC RS-310 (RETMA) cabinet.
• Chapter 2: Details the installation for the H9A00-AJ cabinet.

Each chapter covers all aspects of the physical installation, including:

• Preparing and leveling the cabinet.
• Determining the correct installation area within the rack.
• Assembling and installing various components such as top and bottom air deflectors, right and left chassis slide subassemblies, chassis slide support brackets, the system's faceplate, and rear support brackets.
• Securing the AXP unit within the rack.
• Connecting power and other essential cables.

The document lists required materials for each procedure, includes important safety warnings (e.g., requiring two people for certain steps), and is extensively supported by illustrative figures and tables that describe system features and ports (front and rear views).
