2.2 Install the Modem Into a Rack Enclosure

Mount the modem into its assigned position in the rack enclosure (Figure 2-2). Use, as required:

• A standard rack-mounted shelf;

• User-supplied screws to secure the front panel to the rack enclosure threaded front

mounting rails;

• Comtech EF Data’s optional KT/6228 (4”) or KT/6228 (10”) Rear-Mounting Support Brackets

Kit (Figure 2-3).

CAUTION – When mounting the modem into a rack enclosure:

PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be connected

to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative that the

modem is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on the modem rear

panel, during installation, configuration, and operation.

o In Finland: "Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun

pistorasiaan."

o In Norway: “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt.”

o In Sweden: “Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.”

PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. In a rack system where there is high

heat discharge, provide forced-air cooling with top- or bottom-mounted fans or

blowers.

o Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at the

side for air ventilation.

o Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should

never

exceed 50°C (122°F).
