WARNING:
Never install the access carrier on its side. Make sure that it is installed in an
upright position. You MUST ensure that the cards remain in a vertical,
upright position while the unit is operating.
Installing the Access Carrier into a Cabinet/Rack
One 72-inch cabinet can hold up to six access carriers; however, a cabinet does not
need to be fully populated. The minimum vertical distance between access carriers is
1U (1.75 inches, EIA-310-C standard). Follow these rules during installation:
H
Install access carriers from the bottom of the cabinet and work up. This provides
the following:
— Proper alignment for subsequent access carriers.
— Easier installation since the access carriers can be lowered onto the mounting
screws from above.
— Convenient connection of the interface cables.
— Proper cabinet balance. Bottom-up installation keeps the cabinet from
becoming top heavy.

Install the access carrier into the cabinet/rack before installing any cards in the
unit.
