Anyway, does anyone have experience of rack-mounting a
TU56? It
clearly doesn't go on slide rails, it bolts directly to the rack
(hinge down the front panel for access). I have the manuals from
Bitsavers, they imply there is some kind of spacer block that goes
under the TU56. Does anyone know what that is exactly so I can
attempt to make one if it is needed.
Yes, I rackmounted a tu56 a few weeks ago. I also saw the docs mention that spacer, but I
think it wasn't technically necessary based on where I was putting it. I will go look
at that rack shortly and let you know today.
I can tell you - be careful about putting it all the way at the top. The front deck
can't tilt downward if the upper edge doesn't have clearance.
Then again - anyone who has met me knows I'd never mount a peripheral requiring hands
on that far up in a cabinet *grin*
Speaking of which - I'll put out a call again for if anyone wants to get a group
purchase on the motor run caps for a TU55/56....
