PREFACE Preface Safety Information CAUTION! ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING TELEPHONE LINES. READ THE CAUTIONS BELOW FOR DETAILS ON SAFETY GUIDELINES TO PREVENT INJURY. l Never touch uninsulated telephone wires and terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the Network Interface (NI) as voltage potentials as high as 300 VAC may be present across the transmit and receive pairs. l Only use No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord, to reduce the risk of fire.
Preface Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions ESD can damage processors, circuit cards, and other electronic components. Always observe the following precautions before installing a system component. 1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until ready to install it. 2. Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling components.

Quick Start Unpacking and Inspection Unpacking and Inspection WARNING! OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC DEVICES. 1. Inspect containers for damage during shipment. Report any damage to the freight carrier for possible insurance claims. 2. Compare packing list with office records. Report any discrepancies to the office. 3. Open shipping containers, be careful not to damage contents. 4. Inspect contents and report any damage. 5.
Quick Start Installation Environment Installation Environment The environment in which you are installing the Axxius 800 must meet the following conditions: DANGER! RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION FOR ACCESS 800: ACCESS CAN ONLY BE GAINED BY SERVICE PERSONNEL OR USERS WHO HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS THAT EXIST. ACCESS CAN ONLY BE GAINED TO THE EQUIPMENT LOCATION BY THE USE OF A TOOL OR LOCK AND KEY. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING/SERVICING THE EQUIPMENT.
Quick Start Assembly of Axxius 800 Assembly of Axxius 800 The cards should be positioned according to the following guidelines: l Power Supply(s) 24 or 48 VDC Single Power Supply - slot Power 1 or Power 2 Dual Power Supplies - slot Power 1 and Power 2 l Controller card(s) DS1 or DS3 Single Controller card - slot A1 or A2 Dual Controller cards - slot A1 and A2 l Interface card The Interface card is designed with two boards that follow a single guide. l Service Cards can be in any slot 1 through 8.
Quick Start Rack Mounting Rack Mounting The Axxius 800 can be mounted on a 19 or 23 inch rack with Carrier Access mounting brackets. NOTE: The Axxius 800 requires at least 3/4 inches of free air space above and below the chassis (approx 1/2 RU) for air circulation. Always leave at least 14" clearance in front of the unit, to add and remove cards. Axxius 800 mounted to a 19" rack with mounting brackets Bracket Ears to the front Bracket Ears to the back Axxius 800 - Release 2.
Quick Start Rack Mounting To maintain proper convection cooling, maintain at least 1/2 RU between the Axxius and any other equipment (each Axxius occupies 3 RU of rack space). Therefore, if one Axxius is mounted above another Axxius, then there would be a total of 1 RU between them (1/2 RU above the lower unit and 1/2 RU below the upper unit).
Quick Start Compliant Installation Compliant Installation WARNING! USE MINIMUM ALL TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK CONNECTIONS MUST 26 AWG WIRE. 1. Mount unit in an area that meets Environment conditions, see “Installation Environment” on page 3. 2. Unit should have power supply(s), controller(s) and Interface cards installed before power up. NOTE: All cards (power supplies, controllers, interface, relay and service) slide into the unit in the same manner.
