Located where you can easily connect to a power supply and any other equipment used in
your network, such as a router or PC.

In a relatively clean, dust-free environment that allows easy access to the rear grounding post
as well as the front panel controls and indicators. Air must be able to pass freely over the
chassis.

Accessible for service and troubleshooting.

Protected from rain and extremes of temperature (it is designed for indoor use).

Installing on a Table Top or Cabinet
The SDIDU
TM
can be placed on a tabletop or cabinet shelf. In order to prevent possible
disruption, it is recommended to use a strap to secure the SDIDU
TM
.
3.7.1.2
Installing on a Wall
An installation option for the SDIDU
TM
is mounting the unit to a wall. If the wall mount option is
being considered, plan to position the SDIDU
TM
at a height that allows LEDs, the connectors on
the front panel, and the rear grounding post to be visible at all times and easily accessible. Also,
including plastic clamps to support and arrange the ODU/ SDIDU
TM
Interconnect Cable should
also be considered.
