The CRS-170A switch module’s small size and weight allow it to be freestanding. You may
choose to let the module hang freely, supported only by the interfacing cables.

You may also mount the module into a 1RU space at the front or rear of the rack enclosure that
houses the modems. The optional Comtech EF Data KT/11708 Mounting Panel Kit is available for
this purpose. As shown in Figure 2-1, the module can be installed vertically or horizontally to the
kit’s slotted mounting panel. User-supplied screws are then required to secure the panel to the
rack enclosure threaded mounting rails.
CAUTION – PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative
that the Switch and its paired modems are properly grounded – using the ground stud
provided on the Switch antenna side panel and the ground studs located on the
modem rear panels – during installation, configuration, and operation.
