Center-Mounting the 8610 Chassis in a Rack
Procedure
To center-mount the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack:
1. Determine the preferred placement of the 8610 chassis in the rack. Then,
mark the appropriate locations for the mounting screws on the rack.
2. Reposition the mounting brackets to the center-mount position using the four
#8-32 screws supplied with the chassis.
3. Fasten the chassis to the rack. Insert the screws through the rack and into the
two screw holes located in the center of each side of the chassis.
Repeat these steps for each succeeding 8610 chassis.
Complying with NEBS
The following must be taken into consideration for compliance with Network
Equipment-Building System (NEBS) requirements.
Connection to the CO Ground Lug
Procedure
1. Strip back the insulation approximately 1/4- to 3/8-inch on 14 AWG copper
wire.
2. Loosen the screw on the GND lug located on the rear surface at the center of
the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM cover.
3. Insert the stripped end of the wire into the open end of the GND lug and
tighten the lug’s screw. Make sure it is making contact with the stripped portion
of the wire.
ESD Wrist Strap Jack
A noninsulated banana jack is located at the left front side of the Hotwire 8610
