2.2

Installing into a Rack Enclosure

When mounting the CTOG-250 into a rack enclosure (Figure 2-2):

PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be

connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative

that the setup is properly grounded – e.g., use the ground stud provided on the

CDM-800 rear panel, and the grounding bracket on the CTOG-250 optional DC

Input Power Module – during installation, configuration, and operation.

PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. In a rack system where there is high

heat discharge, provide forced-air cooling with top- or bottom-mounted fans or

blowers.

o

Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at

the sides for air ventilation.

o

Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should

never

exceed 35

°

C

(95

°

F).

For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data Product

Support or visit Comtech EF Data’s Web site (www.comtechefdata.com).

The CTOG-250 is shipped with a Slide Rails Kit (Figure 2-3). Detailed assembly

instructions are provided with the kit; see the assembly overview later in this

chapter.
