Step 3. Installing the IDUs
Environmental Requirements
The IDU requires a protected environment with its temperature maintained between 0 0 and 55 0
C (32 0 – 131 0 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 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.
IDU Accessory Kit Packing List
The IDU Kit contains
•
rack mounting brackets and hardware,
•
rubber mounting feet, (for tabletop use only)
•
AC line cord,
•
RJ-45 console cable (straight-through CAT-5 cable),
•
RJ-45-to-DB-9 console adapter, and
•
clamp-on ferrite filter for the 10Base-T cable.
Rack Mounting the IDU
Three sets of rack mounting bracket hole patterns allow the IDU to be mounted with its
connectors facing the rear or front. A center pattern also allows the IDU to be mounted in
center rail racks or on the surface of a wall if the brackets are installed facing down as shown.
Attach the two rack mounting brackets on each side of the IDU as shown. Use four #8-
32x1/2” Pan Head screws and #8 lock washers (under the screw head) for each bracket.
Tighten the screws securely.
Mount the IDU in an equipment rack near your networking equipment (hub, server, switch, or
router) to which it will be connected. Use two #12-24x3/4” screws in each rack bracket to
mount the unit.
Tabletop Installation of the IDU
If you are installing the unit on a tabletop, attach the (4) self-adhesive rubber feet to the
bottom of the unit near the corners.
The rubber feet are not used if you rack mount the
IDU.
Attaching the Power Cable
Make sure the ON/OFF switch is OFF or “0”. Attach the AC power cord to the rear of the
unit and plug it into a grounded AC outlet. Do not turn the power on until you have
connected the management console (described below).
