Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 113 degrees
Fahrenheit (0 to 45 degrees Celsius).
- The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic
field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
- Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not
block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.
- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at
the back of the converter.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.

Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a
rackmount chassis.
Step 1: Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Step 2: Fit the converter onto the carrier.
Step 3: When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert
the carrier to the guide rails of the expansion slot.
Step 4: Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
Step 5: Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the
supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement
of the converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any
damage.
