Optionally Wiring the GFI Outlet
A GFI convenience outlet is factory‐installed in the cabinet
near the front left corner (see Figure 19) that optionally can be
used by technicians as a temporary outlet for test equipment.
If the AC duplex outlet in the lower‐right rear corner of the cab
inet is wired to an external AC source, AC power optionally can
be provided to this GFI convenience outlet by installing the
provided AC‐to‐GFI cable. Locate this standard color‐coded
3‐wire cable and install it between the GFI and AC duplex out
lets, per National Electrical Code (NEC) rules, local codes,
and company practices. Use cable ties and the holes in the
flange of the L‐bracket located along the bottom rear of the
cabinet for routing and securing this cable.
‐ WARNING ‐
All cabinet AC/DC power wiring, cabling, and installation
methods, both externally to the cabinet and installation and
wiring of internal cabinet equipment, must be performed by
a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Elec
trical Code (NEC) rules and local codes and practices.

‐ DESICCANT NOTE ‐
To prevent condensation during shipment and storage, Westell
includes a desiccant pack within the Boxer cabinet. Once the
electronic equipment is installed and turned‐up, the internal
power dissipation reduces the likelihood of condensation within
the cabinet. However, follow company practices for desiccant
maintenance procedures to prevent internal condensation.
‐ LEFT CHANNEL NOTE ‐
Access to the controller card may be limited if one of the front‐
most channel mounting positions is chosen for the left channel.
