You can attach an optional VT-100 console or equi v alent t o the AN/DC to moni tor
the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations; or you
can attach an y AT -co mpatible modem to a llo w remote dial-in a ccess to diagn ostics
and configuration.
Note:
To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot configuration
options (see Chapt er 3), th ere m ust be a local terminal connected the first time
that the ANH-8/DC powers up.
Mounting Hardware
To rack-mount the AN/DC, you need an electronic enclosure rack that meets the
following specifications:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

Installing the AN/DC
Space Requirements
The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the
AN/DC to dissipate heat. Install the AN/DC in a space that meets the following
specifications:
• Width: 19.5 in. (49.6 cm)
• Minimum depth: 15.5 in. (39.3 cm)
• Depth for servicing: 24.5 in. (62.2 cm)
Electrical Requirements
The installation site must provide an isolated power source that meets these
electrical specifications:
• Input voltage of -48.0 or -60.0 volts DC, +/- 20%
• 1.5 amperes (A) input current under full load at -38.0 VDC input
• Reinforced insulation from the main AC power
We recommend the use of #16 AWG cables between the AN/DC and the power
source to minimize voltage drop. When measuring the cable run, be certain to
include both the input and return cables.
Environmental Requirements
The AN/DC installation site must meet the followin g specificatio ns:
• Altitude: 0 to 8,000 ft (0 to 2,438.4 m)
• Humidity: 10% to 90%, noncondensing
