Re: REFLECTOR: VM1000 DPU installation

["Scott Baker" <sbaker@syix.com>]

Hello Chuck,
We recently helped a client install a VM1000 at Velocity West ... mounted
the DPU  inside the cabin on the firewall; ran the ribbon through the
tunnel (suspended/secured above the hydraulic ram on RG models) ... unit
functioned fine.  Suggest not running the ribbon through the side duct. 
You may want to remove/install cables, oil lines, etc. ... that while easy
to remove, would possibly damage the ribbon when re-installing.
Best regards,
Scott Baker
