Hardware Installation
Installing the AT-3624TS and the AT-3624TRS simply involves plugging
the hub into a power source. Additional specific information on installing
the hub in a department concentrator chassis is in the manual included
with the chassis.
Site Preparation
Attention
Before installing your ATI hub, read the safety installation requirements
starting on page i.
Location
Both fiber hubs can operate as standalone devices or installed in a 19-inch
rackmount or desktop chassis. Multiple hubs can be combined in an ATI
chassis.
Ventilation
The site must have adequate ventilation to provide an operating
environment consistent with the AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS
specifications. The ventilation openings located on the sides of the chassis
should never be blocked. These hubs have internal fans to aid in cooling.
Attention
Maximum ambient temperature is 40
o
C with a department concentrator
chassis.
Power
Power connections for each hub should be able to provide 50 watts at 120
VAC for U.S.A. versions, and 100-120/200-240 VAC, 50/60Hz for
international versions. It is customary to use dedicated power circuits or
power conditioners to supply power to the network devices. This aids in
isolating the network equipment from electrical power “noise.”
