3.3 INSTALL THE HOST

This chapter guides you through installing a Prism Host, which requires 70 steps that

are divided into 11 sections. Follow the steps in the order in which they are provided.

3.3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all

parts have been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred.

11 Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling

that may have damaged the components in the container.

22 Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and

verify with the packing slip.

33 If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier

and notify ADC Customer Service (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335). Save the

damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.

44 Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a

future date.

3.3.2 Install Host in Equipment Rack

A pair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allow the Host to be mounted

in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When installed, the Host

front panel is flush with the front of the rack.

Both US standard and metric machine screws are included for rack mounting the

Host. When loading the Host in a rack, make sure the mechanical loading of the rack

is even to avoid a hazardous condition such as an unbalanced rack. The rack should

safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it holds.

The maximum ambient temperature for the Host is 55º C (131º F).

The Host to be mounted in either a 19- inch or 23- inch EIA or WECO equipment rack.

Unless noted otherw

ise, views of the Host show the mounting brackets in the 23- inch

position.

Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or

using elec

trically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use

electrical equipment in

a wet location or during a lightning storm.

To insure that all optical connectors remain dust- free during installation, leave all dust

caps and d

ust protectors in place until directed to remove them for connection.
