Site Selection
Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your
installation
If you plan to install the AT-GS2002/SP into an equipment rack,
you must first install the AT-GS2002/SP Media Converter in an AT-
MCR12 Rack Mount Chassis, AT-TRAY4 Rack Mount Tray or AT-
TRAY1 Rack/Wall Mount Bracket.

If you are installing the media converter on a table, verify that the
table is level and secure.
The power outlet for the media converter should be located near
the unit and should be easily accessible.
The site should provide for easy access to the ports on the front of
the media converter. This will make it easier for you to connect and
disconnect cables, as well as view the media converter’s LEDs.
Air flow around the unit and through its vents on the side and rear
should not be restricted so that the media converter can maintain
adequate cooling.
Do not place objects on top of the media converter.
Do not expose the media converter to moisture or water.
Ensure that the site is a dust-free environment.
You should use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to
supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.
