mounting rails. Use screws to attach the chassis to the rack.
Plug the chassis into a reliable, filtered power source.
3.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
4.
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
Black Box.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
5.
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
6.
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
5
7. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over
current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of Rackmounted equipment should be
8.
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
9.
All AC and DC versions are intended for use in a Restricted Access Location (RAL
).
Wiring Instruction Guidelines for DC Module in 2DC and ACDC
1. Connection of a suitable grounding conductor to the grounding terminal at each
power supply module (a minimum 14AWG copper conductor should be
suitable based on a 15A circuit breaker requirement).
2. Connection of suitable supply wiring to the plus and minus terminals at each
power supply module (a minimum 14AWG copper conductors is considered
suitable based on the 11A input maximum). The input terminal block at the
power supply module is suitable for 22-14 AWG copper wire.
3. A suitable listed circuit breaker shall be provided in the building installation as
the unit's disconnect device. The branch circuit rating (i.e. minimum 15A listed
circuit breaker, etc.).

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles
of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good
system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1.
Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a
reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems
in an installation.
Dust caps are installed at Black Box to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
2.
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to
the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.
3.
Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that
when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
If it is suspected that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with
4.
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand
alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions
when installing or handling these kinds of products
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.
1.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If the
2.
wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout
any procedure requiring ESD protection.
Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.
3.
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in
4.
a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over any surface.
WARNING!
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not
handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service
technician and use tools and techniques that conform to accepted
industry practices.
