Skip any steps that do not apply to your computer or configuration. The VL-ENCL-5B enclosure is shipped assembled to minimize cosmetic damage to the painted parts. Procedure 1. Remove the enclosure top and front panel. The top of the enclosure is secured with eight screws. The front panel is secured with three screws. 2. Install standoffs to the base of the VL-ENCL-5 to support the breakout board. Breakout boards are typically secured using four 5mm x 15mm standoffs with four 3mm x 6mm screws. Note: The CBL/CBR-4004 breakout board can be mounted to the back panel using four 5mm x 10mm standoffs with 3mm x 6mm screws. 3. 4. Install the drives (HD, CD-ROM, FDD).  Install the CD-ROM drive in bottom bay. Secure it with eight 3mm x 6mm screws.  Install the floppy drive inside the middle bay. The front panel of the floppy drive should be flush with the front panel of the CD drive. Secure the floppy drive with six 3mm x 6mm screws.  Install the hard drive in the top bay. The drive’s power and data connectors should point toward the back panel of the enclosure base. Secure 3.5” drives with six 3mm x 6mm screws from the sides, or a 2.5” drive with four screws from the top. Some drives use 632 x 1/4” screws, which are also supplied in the hardware kit. Attach the breakout board to the base. Secure the breakout board to the standoffs installed in step 2 with four M3 nuts. 5. Reinstall the front panel using the screws removed in step 1. 6. Secure the breakout board to the front panel. Use three D-Sub jack screw sets to secure the breakout board to the front panel. If your application uses an additional breakout board (such as an industrial I/O board), secure it to the front panel with D-Sub jack screw sets. 7. Install front and rear panel connectors. Connectors to install can include VGA video, Ethernet, or others. These either snap into the appropriate cutouts or are secured with D-Sub jack screw sets. 8. Install the ATX power supply. Place the power supply inside the enclosure with the switch and fan positioned against the back panel of enclosure base. Use four 6-32 x 1/4” screws to secure the power supply to the back panel. 9. Install the enclosure handles. Secure the handles to the sides of the enclosure top with the screws provided. VL-ENCL-5 Reference Manual 7 10. Install standoffs to the top to support the computer. The following figures show where to install standoffs to the top of the VL-ENCL-5 to support the computer. Warning! Be sure to use the correct size standoffs for your computer. SUMIT boards must use the standoffs and screws available as part number VL-HDW-105. These standoffs are 15.25 mm (0.60 inch), and must not be mixed with the 15.0 mm standoffs used for non-SUMIT boards. Using the standoffs available as VL-HDW-101 on SUMIT boards will result in damage to the board. Figure 6. Standoff Positions for PC/104 Boards Figure 7. Standoff Positions for EBX Boards VL-ENCL-5 Reference Manual 8 Figure 8. Standoff Positions for EPIC Boards 11. Reinstall the enclosure top. Thread the breakout board, back panel, power, and drive cables through the holes in the enclosure top while keeping the vent towards the drive bay. Place the top over the components and secure it with the screws removed in step 1. 12. Attach the computer to the standoffs. Place the board on the standoffs and use M3 nuts to secure the board to the enclosure. Dual-board computers: If your computer is a dual-board set, you must separate the two boards before securing it to the enclosure. After separating the boards, secure the south board to the enclosure, and then re-mate the dual-board set, using care not to bend any pins or misalign the inter-board connectors. Improper alignment could result in damage to the computer. 13. Connect the cables. See the reference manual for your computer for proper cable connections. The following figures show examples of complete installations of PC/104, EBX, and EPIC computers. VL-ENCL-5 Reference Manual 9 Figure 9. Example PC/104 Board Installation Figure 10.

Metal Parts:  Enclosure lid Hardware: (1) (1) (2) 3” strip double-sided foam tape 1/2” 36” strip double-sided foam tape 1/2” Shoulder washers Installation The VL-ENCL-5 lid (VL-ENCL5LID) is shipped unassembled with the enclosure lid hardware kit. Follow the procedure below to install the lid. 1. Remove the two screws from the rear of top enclosure. These are two 6-32 x 3/8” screws that will be reused to install the lid. 2. Tape the front tabs. Cut the 3” foam tape in half and place it on the front tabs. 3. Mount the flat pane display. Cut the 36” foam tape into appropriate size strips and use it to mount the display. 4. Install the shoulder washers. Install one shoulder washer on each inside lid flange, on both sides of top. 5. Reinstall the lid using the screws removed in step 1. VL-ENCL-5 Reference Manual 12
