INSTALLATION
2.0 Unpacking
Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, they should
be kept until the contents of the shipment have been carefully inspected and checked for
normal operation.
Remove the packing list from the outside of the shipping carton. Open the carton and
remove the contents, checking the contents against the packing list. Verify completeness
of the shipment and that the unit functions correctly. If damage is evident, contact the
carrier and Comtech immediately and submit a damage report. Be sure to keep all
shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
If the unit needs to be returned to Comtech EFData, please use the original shipping
container.
2.1 Mounting
If the CDM-500 is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for
ventilation. The CDM-500 does not include a cooling fan, so care must be taken that too
many units are not mounted on top of each other. The limit is four units, and then a blank
1U panel must be inserted to allow sufficient airflow around the units. 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.
