Feet Removal Procedure

Guide to removing feet from HIL604 devices

By default, some HIL devices ship with feet attached. If the unit needs to be mounted in a 19” cabinet, these feet might occupy additional space. This chapter describes how to remove these feet.

Feet removal procedure - after 00604-00-00375

Note: This procedure applies to HIL604 devices with a serial number after 00604-00-00375.

Remove the rubber plugs, and undo the TX20 bolts which attach the feet to the bottom cover:
Pull out the feet.

Feet removal procedure - up to 00604-00-00375

Note: This procedure applies to HIL604 devices with a serial number up to 00604-00-00375.

Remove the side panels by undoing eight Torx-10 bolts on the side plate, four on each side:
Figure 1. Side cover bolts
Remove the bottom cover, start by pulling on the circled area:
Figure 2. Bottom cover removal
Remove the feet by undoing eight Torx-10 screws on the bottom plate:
Figure 3. Feet-holding bolts
Restore the bottom plate. Six latches should mate with the enclosure frame. If there is a gap between front/rear plate and the bottom cover, apply pressure to that area:

Restore the side plates.
