Page 2-14 GIA 63 Installation ManualRevision T 190-00303-052.8.2 Remote Mounted Stand-Alone Rack ConsiderationsFigure 2-3 and Figure B-4 show the GIA 63(W) remote mounted stand-alone rack. The remote rack canbe installed in a variety of locations, such as the electronics bay, under a seat, or on an avionics shelfbehind the rear baggage area. Refer to Figure 2-5 for suggested mounting locations. Leave sufficientclearance between the GIA 63(W) and any obstruction. The rack should be mounted to a surface knownto have sufficient structural integrity to withstand additional inertia forces imposed by a 7.5-pound (3.4kg) unit.Figure B-3 gives the GIA 63(W) stand-alone rack dimensions. The rack can be mounted vertically usingfour #8-32 pan head screws (MS35206, AN526, or other approved fastener). It can also be mountedhorizontally using four #6-32 100° counter-sunk flathead screws (MS24693, AN507R, or other approvedfastener). Ensure that the GIA 63(W) chassis has a ground path to the airframe by having at least onemounting screw in contact with the airframe.Figure 2-4 and Figure B-6 show the stand-alone rack used for the GIA 63H installation. Figure B-5 givesthe stand-alone rack dimensions for the GIA 63H. The rack can be mounted in any orientation usingscrews as defined in Section 2.1.3. Ensure that the GIA 63H chassis has a ground path to the airframe byhaving at least one mounting screw in contact with the airframe.After the cable assemblies are made and wiring installed to the rack back plate, route wiring bundle asappropriate. Use cable ties to secure the cable assemblies and coax to provide strain relief for the cableassemblies.Figure 2-3 GIA 63(W) Standalone RackDRAFT Rev T 11/12/2010
