1.1 Unpacking the
half-
Y
Before opening the shipping carton(s), examine it for any
signs of damage. If the carton is partially crushed or any side
has been broken open, notify the shipping agency
immediately.
The shipping carton holds the enclosure, packing list,
instructions, the
half-Y
User Reference Manual, the power
cord, and other enclosure products. To be sure your shipment
is complete, the carton(s) is marked as “Container #_of_.” The
first blank is for the carton number and the second blank is
for the total number of cartons in the shipment. An enclosure
weighs approximately 3.5 lb. (1.6 kg). After removing the
enclosure from its carton, collect all documentation and
envelopes. Keep your shipping carton in case you need to
return the product or ship it to other sites.
Note:
AutoPatch will not be responsible for damage to
returned products incurred during shipping due to
insufficient packaging. If requested, AutoPatch will
supply a new shipping carton at cost.
1.2 Installing the
half-
Y
The
half-Y
can be installed in a standard EIA 19
″
rack or on a
desktop. If installing the distribution matrix in a rack, mount
it in the rack after attaching the rack ears.
To install a
half-Y
on a desktop, place the four rubber pads
(included in the shipping carton) on the bottom of the
enclosure.
To attach the rack ears:
Remove the two countersunk screws toward the front on each
side of the enclosure, for a total of four screws removed. Place
a rack ear on one side of the enclosure. Insert the three
screws that came with the ear to hold it in place. Repeat for
the other side. See figures 1.2 and 1.3.
