Installing a Protection Mounting Frame
The cabinet's copper line protection system allows you to expand line capacity incrementally. Protection blocks are housed
in a mounting frame that installs on a 23-inch rack. Each mounting frame holds up to six 50-pair protection blocks.
You can field-install protection mounting frames to expand system capacity. The protection system typically resides in the
splice compartment for standard configurations, or in the rear compartment for cross-connect configurations.
To install a protection mounting frame
Unpack the protection mounting frame from its packaging.
Verify that two ground wires are connected to the mounting frame. Install the ground wires if necessary.
Install the protection mounting frame on the rack as follows.
a.
Turn the knob on the frame counter-clockwise (to the latch's disengaged position).
b.
Position the frame against the rack, oriented with the hinge on the left side.
Note:
To correctly align the frame for mounting, the hinge must align with mounting holes on the left rack, and
the alignment pin on the right side must insert into a mounting hole on the right rack.
c.
When the mounting frame is aligned correctly, secure the hinge side to the left rack using (3) self-tapping
screws.
d.
While holding the swing frame closed against the rack, turn the knob clockwise to engage the latch, thereby
securing it in the closed position.
Route the two frame ground wires to the main ground bar (located at the bottom of the splice compartment).
Attach the ground wire lugs to any open position on the main ground bar.
