CLO-10 Link Optimizer Revision 1
Installation MN/CLO-10.IOM
2.2 Mounting
Figure 2-1 provides a “cut-away” side view of a typical CLO-10 rack configuration, combining use of
CLO-10s and – as furnished by Comtech EF Data or others – modems, up converters, and down
converters. Mount all equipment in the rack(s) as required for efficient arrangement and operation.
(Note: For depiction of the CLO-10 in optional redundancy configuration, refer to Appendix A.
REDUNDANCY SYSTEM OPERATION for details and illustrations pertaining to this setup.)
If the CLO-10 is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for ventilation,
particularly at the sides. In rack systems where there is high heat dissipation, forced air cooling
must be provided by top or bottom mounted fans or blowers. Under no circumstance should the
highest internal rack temperature be allowed to exceed 50°C (122°F).
IMPORTANT
Because a cooling fan is installed in the right-hand side of the unit, the CLO-10
CAN NOT have rack slides mounted to the side of the chassis. Comtech EF
Data therefore recommends that an alternate method of support, such as rack
shelves, is employed within the rack. If there is any doubt, please consult the
Comtech EF Data Customer Support department.
