Installation
There are three major steps to complete installation of the DLT MiniLibrary Base Module:
Mechanical Installation, Cabling and Configuration. This appendix deals with the first two.

Mechanical installation varies slightly depending on
the type of rack used. Both rack types (standard and metric) require the initial
