INSTALLING THE STORAGE PANEL
The storage panel is designed for easy installation in either a 19-inch EIA or 23-inch WECO
equipment rack. However, installation in a 23-inch rack requires an optional Extender Bracket
Kit. This panel can also be wall mounted or installed in an ETSI rack using the FL2000 ETSI
Flush Mount kit.
3.1
Rack Mount Installation
The following procedure describes installation of the storage panel in an equipment rack. The
storage panel is shipped from the factory set up for 5-inch (12.7-cm) rack recess. The optional
flush mount kit must be installed if a flush, 1, 2, or 4-inch (2.54, 5.08, or 10.16-cm) rack recess
is required in a 19-inch rack. Using the flush mount kit and the 23-inch extender brackets the
storage panel can be flush mounted in a 23-inch rack. Determine the recess required and change
the Vertical Cable Guide (VCG) and mounting hardware as needed.
3.1.1
Standard (5-Inch Recess) Rack Mount Installation in a 19-Inch Rack
1. Remove the front cover of the storage panel by opening the cover approximately two
inches (5 cm), then lifting the cover from the hinges (see
).
2. The storage panel must be positioned on the equipment rack so any cross-connect or fiber
optic terminal (FOT) patch cords can enter through the vertical cable guide (VCG) at the
left side of the storage panel (see
) or through a VCG attached directly to the rack
to the right of the storage panel.
3. Position the panel on the rack.
Warning:
Never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before
working with uninsulated lines or terminals to prevent electrical shock
.
