INSTALLATION
5.1 Unpacking
Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, they should
be kept until the contents of the shipment have been carefully inspected and checked for
normal operation.
Remove the packing list from the outside of the shipping carton. Open the carton and
remove the contents, checking the contents against the packing list. Verify completeness
of the shipment and that the unit functions correctly. If damage is evident, contact the
carrier and Comtech immediately and submit a damage report. Be sure to keep all
shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
If the unit needs to be returned to Comtech Communications, please use the original
shipping container.
5.2 Mounting
The CRS-200 will typically be mounted in a rack along with all the modems with which
it is to operate, so it is important to ensure that there is adequate clearance for ventilation.
The limit is four modems, and then a blank 1U panel must be inserted to allow sufficient
airflow around the units. Since the switch itself is relatively passive, no additional
clearance is needed between it and the nearest modems. In rack systems where there is
high heat dissipation, forced air cooling should be provided by top or bottom mounted
fans or blowers.
Under no circumstance may the highest internal rack temperature be allowed to exceed
50º C. The CRS-200 has not been designed to have rack slides mounted to the side of the
0 chassis. However, Comtech recommends that some method of support within the rack
