Quick Start Guide
Installation Site Suggestions
When determining an installation site for the XSR chassis, follow the guidelines outlined below:
•
For proper cooling, maintain a minimum clearance of 15.2 centimeters (6 inches) behind the
chassis and 5.08 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either side of the chassis.
•
If installing the XSR chassis as a free-standing unit on a shelf, ensure that the shelf can support
a minimum weight of approximately 5 1/2 pounds per fully loaded chassis plus the weight of
the connected network cables.
•
For access to the rear of the chassis, allow an area of 48.26 centimeters (19 inches) wide by 61
centimeters (24 inches) deep.
•
If installing the XSR chassis in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack can support and
remain stable with the chassis installed.
Note:
For instructions on installing a balun and grounding shunt/terminal strip on E1 NIM cards only,
