The physical size of each Cheetah Series Switcher chassis is determined by the chassis input/output
capabilities. 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
primary power disconnect/breaker so that the AC supply disconnect is
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 close 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.
