Install the Unit Into a Rack Enclosure
Install the MBT-5000 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-Mounting Support
Brackets Kit (Figure 2-3);
• Comtech EF Data’s optional FP/SL0006 (26”), FP/SL0007 (24”), or FP/SL0008 (22”)

CAUTION – OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• CORRECT GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT PERSONAL
INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
You must make sure the ground stud on the rear panel of the unit is always
connected to the protective earth.
• SUFFICIENT AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED – Make sure there is adequate air
ventilation clearance inside the enclosure, especially at the side. 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).
