Getting Started
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be
retained until the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been
checked mechanically and electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical
damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available
for the carrier's inspection.
Chassis Mounting
Mount the chassis using the included bracket system. All fasteners necessary for the various
installation options are included. Ensure that space exists below and above the ventilation slots at
the installed position. The chassis should be located in an environment where an ambient
temperature between 0° and 50° C can be maintained.
