Step 3. Installing the IDUs
Environmental Requirements
The IDU requires a protected environment with its temperature maintained between 0º and 50º C (32º– 122º F), and
less than 95% relative humidity, non-condensing. The environment should be free from extremes in temperature,
dust, humidity, shock, vibration, and RF fields to ensure the IDU’s operation within published specifications.
Because the IDUs have cooling fans, they can be rack mounted or stacked without spaces between them.
A
clearance of at least one inch on both sides is required for ventilation
. Be sure that the ventilating perforations
on the sides and rear (near the connectors) are not blocked by cables or other equipment. Better ventilation,
resulting from air space around the IDU, improves equipment reliability.
Unpacking and Installing the Hardware
1. Remove the IDU from its shipping carton.
2. Locate and set aside the accessory kit (with cables and mounting hardware) supplied in this carton. Save
all packing materials in case you need them later.
3. Read the FCC Regulatory Compliance notice and Safety Warnings at the beginning of this
manual.
