2 Installation
2.1
Unpacking the Unit
Please inspect the carton upon receiving and note any damage while inspecting for possible unit damage. Please
open the carton and unpack carefully. Locate:
The miniCMTS200a unit
The power cord
2.2
Before Rack Mounting
There are no user adjustable switches, jumpers or controls inside the unit itself, so do not open the unit. Opening
the unit will result in voiding of the warranty.
2.3
Rack Mounting
The unit is designed for installation in an EIA standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack. When mounting in the
rack, use pan or round head screws and soft washers in all four front panel mounting locations. This ensures a
secure mount. You must supply screws matching your rack.
To prolong service life, pay special attention that the environment in which the unit is being used is as free of dust
and other airborne particles as possible.
Make sure the unit is operated in a moderate temperature environment. The miniCMTS200a is fan cooled. Never
place a unit near a heat source. Do not install a unit in areas of extremely high humidity or where there is any danger
of water or condensate dripping into or on the unit.
Where space is not an issue, allow a 1.75-inch (1RU) air gap above and below receivers for cooling purposes.
However, you may install the units with no air gap between them and have reliable operation. Never install multiple
units or any other equipment units in such a way that the air intake from one unit directly aligns with the outlet of
another. Long-term reliability is best obtained with consistently cool environments.
