This section will describe the initial unpacking, site-selection procedures/sequences, and settings
for the Cheetah 64 Series switchers.

NPACKING AND

NSPECTION
This equipment contains electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). Use a grounded
wrist strap, grounding mat, and/or comply with local established ESD
procedures when handling the internal circuit cards to prevent destruction
from electrostatic discharge.
Immediately upon receipt, inspect all shipping containers. Carefully unpack the equipment and
compare the parts received against the packing list. If any parts appear to be missing or damaged,
please contact PESA immediately.

VERVIEW
The physical size of each Cheetah Series Switcher chassis is determined by the chassis input/output
capabilities (i.e., the 64NE chassis is the smallest while the 64XE and 64WE chassis are the
largest). If specified when ordered, each Cheetah Switcher will be configured for the intended
system at the factory. Before attempting to install any frame, matrix card, controller card, or power
supply, carefully read and understand this section.
All Cheetah Switchers contain electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). Care
should be used when it is necessary to handle the internal circuit cards. It is
recommended that a grounded wrist strap and grounding mat be used before
attempting any equipment installations.

OCATION
For local electrical compliance, this equipment should be located near the
socket-outlet, power strip (if plugs are used), or the supply
disconnect/breaker so that the AC line cord plugs or the supply disconnect
are easily accessible.
This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack located in an
environment conforming to the specifications for each chassis. Locate each unit as closely as
possible to its associated equipment to minimize cable runs.
Consider the connection from this equipment to the supply circuit, and the effect that possible
overloading can have on overcurrent protection circuits and supply wiring. Refer to nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
