The following sections describe the installation and grounding of the BDU.
2.5.1 To install the BDU
To install the BDU, do as follows:
1. Slide the BDU into a 1U space in a 19” rack.
2. Make sure that the air intakes on the side of the unit are not blocked.
3. Support the BDU in the 19" rack with standard 19" rack rails or
19" shelf and mount the screws in each side through the holes in the front and
fasten the screws to the rack. Make sure that the unit is mounted securely
according to the requirements for your 19” rack.
4. Connect all cables. See
on page 3-1 for a description of
the BDU connectors.
The BDU has an additional LAN connector at the front, for accessing the service port
from the BDU front panel.
2.5.2 To ground the BDU
1. Make sure that the grounding requirements are met. See the appendix
on page E-1 for details about grounding.

3. Make sure the rack is connected to ship ground.
To ensure that the BDU is grounded – also if the ADU cable is disconnected from the BDU, connect an extra ground wire from the rack to the ground stud on the BDU. This ground wire must be a heavy wire or braid cable with a larger diameter than the coax cable.
