Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Installation and Operation Manual
2-2 Equipment Needed FCD-E1
• Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines
and interface cables.
The ambient operating temperature of FCD-E1 is 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F), at a
relative humidity of up to 90%, non-condensing.
The FCD-E1 units are cooled by free-air convection, therefore in rack installations
it is necessary to leave sufficient space (at least 1U) above and below each unit, to
enable free airflow.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Considerations
The FCD-E1 is designed to comply with various electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) standards. To meet these standards, it is necessary to connect the FCD-E1
case to a low-resistance grounding system.
2.3 Package Contents
The FCD-E1 package includes the following items:
• FCD-E1 unit
• Multiservice Access Devices and Intelligent CLEs CD-ROM
• AC power cord or DC power supply connector kit
• RM kit (if ordered)
• Interface adapter cable(s), in accordance with order (see Connecting the
