Installation
Before you install the DECrepeater 90FA repeater, it is recommended that you
read this entire manual to become familiar with the features and configuration
rules of the DECrepeater 90FA. If problems occur during installation, refer
to Chapter 5, Troubleshooting. For additional information that may be useful
during installation, refer to Appendix A, Specifications and Parts List.
The DECrepeater 90FA may be installed on a desk top or table, mounted on a
wall by its back cover, or installed in a DEChub 90 backplane. The only tool
required for installation is a screwdriver. The screwdriver is used to remove the
back cover, which covers the backplane connector and mounting assembly, and to
mount the repeater or the power supply on the wall.
Site Considerations
The DECrepeater 90FA and its power supply can be placed in various locations,
including office areas, computer rooms, or wiring closets, as long as the
environmental requirements are met. These requirements are provided in
Table A–2, Operating Environment, in Appendix A.
Standalone Installation
To install the DECrepeater 90FA on a desk top or table, make sure that the
air circulation around the DECrepeater 90FA does not become obstructed by
papers or other materials. Refer to the environmental specifications provided in
Table A–2 in Appendix A.
