OTH-7000

Installing Your Unit in a Rack

5.

Fix the first bracket on the unit with the supplied screws (two screws 
per bracket).

6.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the other bracket, ensuring that you place 
the bracket at the exact same position (orientation of the bracket, set 
of holes on the bracket and on the unit’s casing).

7.

Place the unit in the rack at the desired height.

8.

Fix the unit in place using the hardware supplied with the rack. Use 
one screw per side.

To ground your unit properly, you must ensure that there is a 
metal-to-metal contact between the rack and the mounting hardware. 
For this reason, EXFO recommends to use thread-forming screws, star 
(tooth) lock washers, or similar hardware that remove any paint or 
non-conductive coatings. For more information, see
