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 equipment.
Connecting to Power
y This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
y Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the receptacle on the
rear panel of the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard AC
outlet.

Installing in a Chassis
The Converter can be fit into any of the expansion slots on a special
designed chassis.
y First, install the converter onto a carrier supplied with the chassis:
Step 1- Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Step 2- Fit the converter onto the carrier.
y When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier
to the guide rails of the expansion slot.
y Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis. Fasten
the screws on the carrier.
<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.
