HOOSING A LOCATION
This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack located in an
environment conforming to the specifications for each chassis. Locate each unit as closely as
possible to its associated equipment to minimize cable runs.
NSTALLATION
For local electrical compliance, this equipment should be located near the
socket-outlet, power strip (if plugs are used), or the supply
disconnect/breaker so that the AC line cord plugs or the supply disconnect
are easily accessible.
Consider the connection from this equipment to the supply circuit, and the effect that possible
overloading can have on overcurrent protection circuits and supply wiring. Refer to nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
4.3 M
OUNTING A CHEETAH ROUTER CHASSIS IN AN EQUIPMENT RACK
The weight of a fully loaded 64NEX chassis is 60 lbs nominal. Installation or
removal of this equipment requires at least two persons in order to avoid
possible personal injury or equipment damage. Install this equipment in such
a manner as to avoid any tipping hazard from uneven loading of the rack.
Make sure that all power is disconnected (Lockout/Tagout) before installing
the specific frame into the rack.
Fans that are mounted on this equipment provide forced-air cooling. Do not
block airflow around these fans. Replace all service panels and blank filler
plates. Keep the chassis door closed during normal operation.

This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack. Provide sufficient
space behind the equipment racks to allow for control, signal, power cables, and free airflow after
all cables are installed. Use all chassis mounting holes and tighten mounting hardware securely
by using the rack equipment manufacturer’s suggested torque settings.
Install the equipment into the rack as follows:
1. Carefully, remove the equipment from the packing container and place the unit near the
rack where it will be installed.
2. Insert the chassis into the equipment rack and support the bottom of the chassis while the
mounting hardware is being installed.
3. Install the bottom two chassis mounting screws.
4. Install the top two chassis mounting screws.
5. Install any remaining chassis mounting screws.
6. Tighten all of the chassis mounting screws until they are secure. Release/remove the
support from the bottom of the chassis.
4.4 C
Use the following guidelines when connecting equipment cables:
ONNECTING EQUIPMENT CABLES
1. Install the equipment in the rack before connecting cables.
2. Relieve strain on all cables to prevent connector separation.
3. To the extent possible, separate control, signal, and power cables to minimize crosstalk and
interference.
4. Use as many cable ties as necessary to secure cables to the rack (see Figure 4-1). This will
minimize the amount of force transmitted to the equipment and help route cables away from
hazardous areas.

5. Route cables away from physical traffic areas to avoid creating a safety hazard (trip or
shock).
6. Bundle together any cables connected to a single input/output card and separate them from
the other bundles with enough slack to create a service loop. This will permit individual card
replacement without disruption to the other input/output cards.
ONNECTION GUIDE CHECKLIST
1. Connect external sync sources to reference input BNC connectors using Belden 8281
coaxial cable or equivalent. Reference input BNC connectors are terminated into 75Ω
internal to the switcher.
2. Connect the PERC2000 System Controller to an Ethernet interface.

requirements.
4.6.2 International Power Requirements
All Cheetah frames have two AC Main power feeds, which are isolated from each another. All
international power requirements are pre-configured at the factory and commercially available,
prefabricated power cords designed for the power source that the equipment will be operating are
supplied with each unit.
As in the United States, international operation with one power supply is the normal, non-option
condition. An optional second (redundant/backup) power supply is available. Typical full-frame
power consumption is approximately 6.0 Amps or approximately 650 Watts at 240 VAC nominal
regardless of the number of power supplies in use.
