Mechanical Mounting
1. Determine mounting location:
a. The unit will fit in a standard 2RU 19-inch rack space with the use of the (sup-
plied) 19” mounting brackets.
b. The fans in the device direct airflow through the intake filter on the unit front
panel and expel air from the fans at the rear. Allow enough clearance around
the front filter and rear fans for good airflow. Do not allow foreign objects into
any of the air ducts and do not block them with electrical or optical cables.
c. Caution: Take care during installation not to damage the unit. Special atten-
tion should be given to the optical connector adapters on the front panel and
electrical terminals on the rear panel.
2. There are two 19” mounting brackets with mounting screws supplied. If the brackets
are not already attached to the unit they should be first bolted to the unit before in-
stallation in the rack.
3. One of the mechanical features of the EDFA is the fiber trays in the front of the unit.
These trays allow for the installer or maintenance person to access and unplug the
internal fiber connector from the optical connector adapters for inspection and clean-
ing. Before relocating the unit to the rack, make sure that the trays are secured in the
closed position via their thumb screws.
4. Mount the EDFA to the rack using the screws required by the equipment rack at the
installation site. See the unit’s specification document for weight and dimensions.
5. Once the unit is mounted, make sure the laser emission key-switch on the front
panel is in the off position. The next step is to hook up the electrical wiring as speci-
fied in the next section.
