How to Install the Terminal Concentrator in a Cabinet
This procedure provides instructions for rack-mounting the terminal concentrator in a
cabinet. For convenience, you can rack-mount the terminal concentrator even if your cluster does not
contain rack-mounted nodes.
To rack-mount your terminal concentrator, go to the first
step of the following procedure.
If you do not want to rack-mount your terminal concentrator,
place the terminal concentrator in its standalone location, connect the unit
power cord into a utility outlet, and go to How
to Connect the Terminal Concentrator.
- Install the terminal concentrator bracket
hinge onto the primary cabinet:
- Locate the bracket hinge portion of the terminal
concentrator bracket assembly (see Figure 2–1).
- Loosely install two locator screws in the
right-side rail of the rear of the cabinet.
Thread the screws
into holes 8 and 29, as shown in Figure 2–1. The locator screws accept the slotted holes in the hinge piece.
- Place the slotted holes of the hinge over
the locator screws, and let the hinge drop into place.
- Install the screws into holes 7 and 28.
Tighten these screws, and the screws in holes 8 and 29, as shown in Figure 2–1.

- Install the terminal concentrator into the
bracket.
- Place the side pieces of the bracket against
the terminal concentrator, as shown in Figure 2–2.
- Lower the terminal concentrator (with side
pieces) onto the bottom plate, aligning the holes in the side pieces with
the threaded studs on the bottom plate.
- Install and tighten three nuts on the three
threaded studs that penetrate through each side plate.

Into the Bracket
- Install the terminal concentrator bracket
onto the bracket hinge that is already installed on the cabinet.
- Turn the terminal concentrator bracket on
its side so the hinge holes and cable connectors face toward the bracket hinge
(see Figure 2–3).
- Align the bracket holes with the boss pins
on the bracket hinge and install the bracket onto the hinge.
- Install the keeper screw in the shorter boss
pin to ensure the assembly cannot be accidentally knocked off the hinge.
