SteelConnect SDI-5030 Gateway Hardware Installation Guide
Installing the SteelConnect SDI-5030 Gateway
Required tools and equipment
Ensure that the ampere rating of all equipment plugged into wall outlets does not exceed the
capacity of the outlet.
If you require an extension cord, ensure that the ampere rating of all equipment plugged into the
extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.
If the gateway is exposed to moisture or condensation, disconnect it from the power source
immediately and obtain service assistance.
If the gateway exhibits unexpected behavior, such as smoking or becoming extremely hot,
disconnect it from the power source immediately and then obtain service assistance.
Environmental considerations
Ensure that the gateway has at least 12 inches of clearance on all sides to allow for proper
ventilation. The gateway generates heat and requires adequate circulation to maintain proper
operating temperatures. Never cover or obstruct the gateway ventilation slots.
Do not position the gateway near high-powered radio transmitters or electrical equipment, such as
electrical motors or air conditioners. Interference from electrical equipment can cause
intermittent failures.
Do not install the gateway in areas where condensation, water, or other liquids may be present.
These may cause safety hazards and equipment failure.
For clearance to the front and rear panels, make sure that:
front-panel indicators can be easily read.
access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
the AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
access to the rear of the rack is sufficient for connecting the power supply.
Required tools and equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to mount the SteelConnect gateways:
A standard server-type rack
A standard Phillips screwdriver
The rack-mount kit that ships with your gateway
Rack mounting the SteelConnect SDI-5030
The SteelConnect SDI-5030 ships with rack mount hardware.
Important:
You will need the MAC address to register the product. Take note of the MAC address on the top cover
label of the chassis before you rack mount the gateway. Once the gateway is rack mounted it is difficult to read the
MAC address.
