Chapter 2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, keep them 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 EF Data
immediately and submit a damage report. Keep all shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
If the unit needs to be returned to Comtech EF Data, please use the original shipping container.
2.2 Mounting
If the CDM-550T is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for ventilation.
The CDM-550T 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 (122°F).
