2.1 General Installation Rules
Receipt Inspection
All Cougar and Jaguar Routing Switchers are tested and inspected prior
to leaving the factory. Upon receipt, inspect all equipment items for ship-
ping damage. If any damage is found, contact the carrier immediately and
save all packing material.
Unpacking
Prior to discarding any packing material compare the parts received
against the packing list. Carefully inspect the layers of packing material for
any components which may have been overlooked during the initial un-
packing.
Equipment Location
All PESA Cougar or Jaguar Routing Switcher Systems may be located
anywhere power is available. However, each switching system should be
mounted as close as possible to their associated equipment to minimize
cable runs. Forced air cooling is provided by fans located at the back of
the routing switcher frames. Care should be taken not to block airflow
around these fans. Installation should be in an area where the ambient
temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) inside the equipment rack.
Equipment Mounting
All PESA equipment items are rack mountable in standard 19” equipment
racks. Sufficient space must be provided behind the equipment racks to
allow for the installation of control, audio, video, sync, and power cables.
All mounting holes should be utilized and mounting hardware tightened
securely. As with all equipment installed in a rack, the bottom screw on
each side should be installed before proceeding with the remainder of the
screws. Then all screws should be securely tightened. Support each
equipment item's bottom while installing it in the associated equipment
rack. Figure 2-1 illustrates chassis installation in the equipment rack.
NOTE: Remove any power supply retaining screws and shipment braces
before installing the routing switchers in the equipment racks.
