Hardware Installation
4-2 Verilink Access System 2000: The Basics
• All application modules
• All rear connector modules
Repack the application modules and rear connector modules in
their respective anti-static envelopes until everything else is
assembled and you are ready to install them.
Wiring for DC Power Installation
Wiring for the office battery power and ground connections to the
shelf midplane are not provided by Verilink. Use one of the
following wire gauges for the 48 VDC and battery return runs:
• 18-gauge solid wire. Both wires total 40 feet (12.2 meters) or
less.
• 14-gauge solid wire. Both wires total 40 to 65 feet (12.2 to 20
meters).
Shelf Mounting
When mounting shelf units into the equipment rack (except for the
top rack position), place heat baffles between (or on top of) shelf
units to dissipate heat. If you are using HDM modules, position a
fan shelf between every two Multi-line shelf units. Each shelf—
Multi-line, Quint-line, or Dual-line—requires ventilation to operate
properly.
Mounting
Brackets
Each shelf unit includes mounting brackets for rack installation.
The mounting brackets have been designed to mount the shelves in
a 19- or 23-inch equipment rack. All Verilink shelves can be mid-
mounted or front-mounted. A typical mounting bracket is shown
in
Figure 4-1 .
