2.2 Installing Into a Rack Enclosure
When mounting the LBC-4000 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 unit is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided
on the unit rear panel, 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 side for air ventilation.
o Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should never exceed 50
°
C
(122
°
F).
For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data

The equipment contains parts and assemblies sensitive to damage by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Use ESD precautionary procedures when touching, removing, or
inserting PCBs.
