Stinger® FS/Stinger FS+ Getting Started Guide
Installing a Stinger FS or Stinger FS+
Setting up the unit
hardware such as unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars must be brought
to a bright finish and then coated with an antioxidant.
Setting up the unit
Position the unit for installation, keeping in mind that cables connect to the back of
the unit. The Stinger FS or Stinger FS+ can be placed on a flat surface as a
free-standing unit, or rack-mounted in a standard equipment cabinet that is 19
inches or 23 inches (48.26cm or 58.42cm) wide. The following sections describe the
steps involved for each method of installation.
As a free-standing unit
Position the Stinger unit on the selected flat surface. Remember to allow space for
proper ventilation.
As a rack-mounted unit
Note
The rack-mount spacing meets IEC 297-2 and ANSI/EIA-RS-310-C standards.
!
Warning
The weight and position of the Stinger unit within the cabinet might make
the cabinet top-heavy or unstable. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the
cabinet securely before installing the unit.
Installing the mounting brackets
The Stinger FS/Stinger FS+ chassis can be mounted in a 19-inch or 23-inch
equipment rack with the proper mounting brackets. In late 2005 Lucent began
shipping a newer Stinger FS+ chassis with a fan tray that installs from the front of the
unit. Hole spacing for attaching the mounting brackets to this newer unit are slightly
different from the mounting brackets used with the older chassis. You must use a
mounting bracket that is correct for the version of the chassis you are installing.
Table Table 2-1 identifies the proper brackets for mounting the older and newer
Stinger chassis.
The brackets are attached to the chassis by 8 flathead screws that are included with
each bracket set. All of the brackets are attached to the chassis using the same
procedure.
To install mounting brackets onto the unit:
1
Position a mounting bracket onto one side of the Stinger unit, lining up the 12 screw holes
on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the unit, as shown in Figure 2-1.
