been received and that no shipping damage has occurred. Use the following procedure to
unpack and inspect the fuse platform:
1. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack the fuse platform from the protective
packaging.
2. Check the panel for broken or missing parts. If there are any damages, contact ADC (see
Section 8, Customer Information and Assistance on page 30 for an RMA (Return Material

3 PRE-INSTALLATION
This section contains general installation recommendations, unpacking and inspection
procedures, a list of tools and materials required, and continuity test procedures.
3.1 General Installation Recommendations
The fuse platform should be installed in a central office, equipment room, or restricted access
location. Observe the following guidelines when installing the fuse platform:
• Mount the fuse platform in the upper area of the rack or cabinet to reduce exposure of the
power wiring. Provide a minimum of 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) of air space (one rack space)
above and below the fuse platform to allow air to freely circulate.
• Be aware that adding a fuse platform to the rack may displace a device which may require
relocation.
• Use common hand tools to install the fuse platform (see Section 3.2 below). The use of a
power screwdriver to install the self-tapping screws that attach the mounting brackets to
the rack is also recommended.
3.2 Installation Tools Required
The following tools are required to install the fuse platform:
• Phillips screwdrivers (#1 and #2)
• Flat-blade screwdrivers (medium and large)
• Torque screwdriver calibrated in pound-force inches or Newton meters
• Torque wrench calibrated in pound-force inches or Newton meters
• 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch sockets (for torque wrench)
• Wire cutter and wire stripper
• Compression lug crimper
• Wire-wrap tool
