Physical Installation
If you have questions pertaining to the installation of your NK-IPS, please contact us at the numbers listed in the
section “
Contacting Technical Support ” on page 10.
Before You Begin
These installation guidelines assume the following:
• The relevant Ross equipment is installed into a ventilated rack frame. The relative humidity in the environment
of the equipment should be <70% (non-condensing). The ambient temperature of the air entering the front panel
should not exceed 40°C (104°F), and should not fall below 0°C (32°F). It is recommended to leave a 1RU gap
between each module.
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front, behind, and on both sides of the NK-IPS for airflow exhaust.
• Ensure that adequate space exists on both sides of the NK-IPS and side access is not blocked from the rear.
• If a Ross openGear frame is included in the installation, it is recommended that the NK-IPS be installed directly
above the openGear frame.
• The install location of the NK-IPS should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
• The socket/outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• Valid IP addresses are assigned to the equipment.

If difficulties or problems are experienced when connecting the NK-IPS to a network hub, or with assigning IP
addresses, contact your network administrator.
Static Discharge
Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
Mounting Requirements
The NK-IPS is designed for installation into a standard 19” equipment rack. It has integrated rack ears, allowing it
to be screwed in using standard screws and cage nuts.
The NK-IPS mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through the front mounting ears. This
should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables.
Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets can be greater than the ambient
temperatures within a room. Adequate ventilation within a rack frame must be maintained.
For More Information on...
• the technical specifications for the NK-IPS, refer to the chapter “ Technical Specifications ” on page 45.
Notice
— The NK-IPS utilizes side-to-side airflow management (right to left looking at the front of the
chassis). It is a requirement that the sides of the mounted NK-IPS router are not obscured.
ESD Susceptibility
— Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.
