2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, keep them

until the contents of the shipment have been carefully inspected and checked for normal

operation.

Remove the packing list from the outside of the shipping carton. Open the carton and

remove the contents, checking the contents against the packing list. Verify completeness

of the shipment and that the unit functions correctly. If damage is evident, contact the

carrier and Comtech EF Data immediately and submit a damage report. Keep all shipping

materials for the carrier's inspection.

If the unit needs to be returned to Comtech EF Data, please use the original shipping

container.

2.2 MOUNTING KITS

If the CiM-550 is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for

ventilation. The CiM-550 does not include a cooling fan, so care must be taken that too

many units are not mounted on top of each other. The limit is four units, and then a blank

1U panel must be inserted to allow sufficient airflow around the units. In rack systems

where there is high heat dissipation, forced air cooling must be provided by top or bottom

mounted fans or blowers. Under no circumstance should the highest internal rack

temperature be allowed to exceed 50° C.
