AMT-70/AMT-73/AMT-75 Installation and Operation
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
2.1
Introduction
This section describes the unpacking, inspection, and installation considerations.
2.2
Unpacking and Inspection
Check for damage to the outside and the inside of the shipping container. If there is any damage,
contact Customer Service and the shipping carrier to report it.
2.2.1
Unpacking
To insure safety and proper operation of this equipment, use the following unpacking and repackaging
guidelines:
1. The equipment is shipped in a high-quality cardboard container and packed with high-density
molded foam. This type of packing material can withstand impairments such as vibration and impact
associated with long-distance shipment. The packing box and foam is the only suitable type of packing
that should be used for shipping the equipment.
2. While unpacking, observe how the equipment is packed. In order to avoid damage, it must be
repackaged in exactly the same manner if you need to ship the unit to another location or return it to
the
factory.
The packing consists of one large cardboard box, two foam side caps, and one accessory box. Please
retain these items for future use.
2.2.2
Inventory
Take inventory of the complete package to ensure that all necessary parts are present. A quick review
of your pre-installation site survey form, purchase order, and shipping list should reveal any
discrepancies.
2.2.3
Site Considerations
The installation site should be compatible with the location used for other electronic equipment. That
is, the building should be free from excessive dust and moisture. The room should not exceed the
recommended temperature range (defined at in
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (AMT-70)
or
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (AMT-73L)
. The installation location should allow for ample airflow.
Also, allow extra room for service access to cables and wiring.
2.2.4
Installing the unit
Move the unit to the location where it will be installed. Ideally, the unit will be installed into an
equipment rack or a shelf. If necessary, prior to installation into the rack or shelf, remove the three
colored screws on the bottom side of the chassis. The removal of these screws frees up the anti-
vibration mount that was secured during shipping. Install the fan filters onto the external fans, if a
regular maintenance schedule can be provided to clean or replace the fans. Do not install the filters at
a remote location unless quarterly preventative maintenance is performed. Follow the additional
precautions shown below:

Do not block the air holes or the fan cut outs the back panel of the unit. These openings must
be kept clear for the proper cooling of the equipment.
