Introduction
This chapter describes installing the following FP1004E. Installation consists of the following:
•
Inspecting the FP1004E shipping container (see section
•
Unpacking the FP1004E (see section
)
•
Selecting an appropriate installation site (see section
“Choosing the Installation Site”
)
•
Determine the type of power required for the installation mount (see section
•
Insert or remove SFP modules (see section
“Inserting and Removing SFP Modules
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until
the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and elec-
trically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify Fiber-
Plex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection.?
Unpacking
Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been
spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be
immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be performed by trained personnel
in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Disposal of Packing Materials
The packing materials have been selected with environmental and disposal issues in mind. All packing material
can be recycled. Recycling packing saves raw materials and reduces the volume of waste. If you need to dispose
of the transport packing materials, recycling is encouraged.
Choosing the Installation Site
Install the unit where the following conditions are met:
•
The temperature and the relative humidity of the operating environment must be within the specified limits
during operation of the unit. Values specified are applicable to the air inlets of the unit.
•
Condensation may not be present during operation. If the unit is installed in a location subject to large varia-
tions of ambient temperature (e.g. in an OB-van), appropriate precautions must be taken.
•
Unobstructed air flow is essential for proper operation. Ventilation openings of the unit are a functional part of
the design and must not be obstructed in any way during operation (e.g. - by objects placed upon them, place-
ment of the unit on a soft surface, or improper installation of the unit within a rack or piece of furniture).
•
The unit must not be unduly exposed to external heat sources (direct sunlight, spot lights).
Ambient Temperature
Units and systems by FiberPlex are generally designed for an ambient temperature range (i.e. temperature of
the incoming air) of +5 to +40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the following facts must be considered:
