2.2 Install the Modem Into a Rack Enclosure
Install the modem in its assigned position in the rack enclosure (Figure 2-2).
Use, as required:
• A standard rack-mounted shelf;
• User-supplied screws to secure the front panel to the rack enclosure threaded front
mounting rails;
• Comtech EF Data’s optional KT/6228-2 (4”) or KT/6228-3 (10”) Rear Support Brackets Kit
For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data Product Support.
• CAUTION – PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT
PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. You must make sure the ground
stud on the rear panel of the modem is always connected to the protective
earth.
• SUFFICIENT AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED: The modem CANNOT have rack
slides mounted to the sides of the modem. Cooling fans and exhaust vents are
provided here – air flow must not be impeded.
Make sure there is adequate air ventilation clearance inside the enclosure,
especially at the sides. In a rack system where there is high heat discharge,
provide forced-air cooling with top- or bottom-mounted fans or blowers.
• MAXIMUM AIR TEMPERATURE: Make sure the air temperature inside the
enclosure never exceeds 50°C (122°F).
