CAUTION
Screws must not penetrate into the holes on
the ODU housing more than .25 in. (6.35
mm).
DO NOT substitute longer screws unless
your installation requires the additional
length.
Over-length screws can crack the housing
when tightened.
CAUTION
To ensure proper cooling of the ODU, the
unit must always be mounted so that the
cooling fins are vertical and are not blocked
from free air flow.
3. Align the holes in the ODU with the 3 elongated holes
at one end of the Mounting Plate.
4. Attach the ODU to the mounting plate using the
#10-32 screws, lock washers, and flat washers
supplied. See Figure 6-10.

6.12 Making the Connections
Now that the IDU and ODU(s) are in place and the harness is
installed, make the connections at each end of the harness.
While every installation is different, here are some general
guidelines:
• When you’re done making all connections, re-check all
connections before powering up the MTX5000.
• If you need to install the Triax connector(s) onto the cable,
refer to Appendix A, “Installing Triax Connectors” on
page A-1.
