3.  Tools and Materials Required

In addition to the usual complement of tools, you will need 5/16-inch and 3/8-inch nut drivers.

4.  Planning

Before you begin your installation, make sure you understand how the unit is to be installed, 

where it will be placed in the equipment rack, where the cables will enter the unit, and how the 

jumpers will be routed.

If you plan to route pigtails through one or more of the feed-through ports at the rear of the unit 

(for example: to splice into splice trays in another unit), remove the plates covering those ports 

at this time. Notice that removing the rear door will simplify lower port plate removal. Slide rear 

door to the left to remove it.

5.  Mounting/Grounding the Housing

5.1  Unstubbed Housing

The housing is equipped to mount into a 19- or 23-inch equipment rack with EIA-310 universal 

hole spacing.
