1. Remove the front panel by undoing the fasteners with a quarter turn

anti-clockwise, as described in “Replacing Modules” in the

Installation and Operation Manual.

2. Fit the subrack into the cabinet or rack and secure it firmly with an

M6 (or 0.25in if you are using imperial fittings) screw, flat and spring

washer in each of the four main mounting holes

b, as shown in

Figure 1.4 on page 12.

Note If you need extra mounting security, there are additional mount-

ing holes

c provided at the rear of the subrack for auxiliary sup-

port brackets.

1.8.3 Auxiliary Support Bracket

TBA2140 auxiliary support brackets can be fitted to the rear of the TB8100

subrack to provide additional mounting security. Figure 1.5 below shows a

standard TBA2140 bracket

b fitted in a typical Tait Electronics cabinet c.

If you are not using a Tait cabinet, you may have to make your own brackets

to suit your installation.

Important You must fit the auxiliary support brackets if you intend to

transport a cabinet fitted with a fully built-up TB8100 BSS.

We also recommend that you fit the brackets under the following

conditions:

■ when the installation is in an area prone to earthquakes

■ when third party equipment is installed hard up underneath the TB8100

BSS subrack.
