4. INSTALLATION
Chassis Installation
The SIPP-600 chassis is 1RU in height (1.75 inches) with
adjustable mounting brackets that support a variety of
wall mounted configurations (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Mounting configurations
To install the SIPP-600 on a wall or other surface:
1) Align the holes of a mounting bracket with holes on
the side of the chassis in the desired position. The
brackets can be positioned with the flanges toward
the rear, top, or bottom of the chassis.
2) Insert two (2) of the included 8-
32 x 3/8” machine
screws through the round holes of the bracket and
tighten them firmly.
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the second bracket on the
opposite side of the chassis. Ensure that the
positions of the brackets are symmetrical.
4) Attach the panel assembly to a suitable surface with
four (4) fasteners (not included), two for each bracket.
Be sure to use the appropriate fastener type, and
anchors if necessary, to securely support the panel.
For outside plant applications, the SIPP assembly must
be installed in a cabinet that complies with Telcordia
GR-487 requirements.
Chassis Grounding
CAUTION:
Protection requires the use of appropriate
grounding practices in order to function properly. The SIPP
chassis and associated equipment should be connected to a
single common ground point. Wiring must conform to
applicable electrical codes and standards.
To ground the SIPP-600 chassis:
1) Choose an appropriately sized ground lug to fit the
dual ground posts on the mounting bracket of the
chassis, shown in Figure 7. The studs are 1/4”
diameter with 5/8” center-to-center spacing.
2) Fasten the ground lug securely to the studs with the
included lock washers and
1/4”–20 hex nuts.
3) Attach one end of a #6 AWG ground wire to the
ground lug.
4) Attach the other end of the #6 AWG ground wire to
the nearest qualified ground (impedance of 1 ohm or
less) via the shortest and most direct path, avoiding
sharp turns.

WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
1) Do not install, troubleshoot, or conduct maintenance on
the SIPP-600 or associated SPM modules during
lightning or thunderstorm activity.
2) This equipment provides primary protection and
requires use of appropriate installation practices.
Only qualified and trained personnel should install or
maintain these products.
Complete the installation of the protection equipment
BEFORE connecting outside cable facilities.
A separate primary protector should not be installed
in conjunction with this equipment.
Suitable cabling must be used for all connections.
3) Protection requires the use of appropriate grounding
practices in order to function properly. The SIPP chassis
and associated equipment should be connected to a
single common ground point. Wiring must conform to
applicable electrical codes and standards.
