NSTALLATION

PTIONS
XEL's SHARK™ Integrated Access Device is a 2U high (3.5”) X 17.5” wide X
13” deep integrated bank that may be installed in any of three methods. This
chapter will cover the installation of the chassis and modules. Sixteen and a half
inches is the SHARK™ IAD’s overall front to back depth once installed
including all cabling and connector housings. For office applications the unit
comes with mounting feet to set on a desktop. See page 2-4 of this chapter for
tabletop mounting details. For large telephone rooms in which racks are already
installed, the SHARK™ IAD can be rack mounted in a 19 or 23 inch rack. In this
configuration, multiple SHARK™ IADs can be mounted in a single rack. See
page 2-6 of this chapter for rack mounting details. For small telephone closets
with limited space, the SHARK™ IAD can be wall mounted, in which case the
unit can be outfitted with hinges so that it will swing away from the wall for
service. Then the unit can be secured flat against the wall for space savings. See
page 2-8 of this chapter for wall mount details. For cable descriptions see the
cable chapter of the installation section. For connector pinouts by module, see the
hardware specification chapter.

NSTALLING THE
MODULES
All mounting and securing should be performed before the modules are inserted
into the unit. The SHARK™ IAD chassis has three rows of three slots in which
to install modules. Each module has a steel faceplate that makes electrical
contact to the chassis. The module is seated into its slot by placing firm pressure
on the center of the faceplate. All faceplates have two metal thumb screws with
which to secure the module into place. These thumbscrews ensure electrical
connection to the chassis and secure the module in place once it has been seated
into position. They are also an integral part of the chassis EMI protection
scheme. Be sure the module is fully seated into position before securing the
thumbscrews. The thumbscrews are not intended to seat the module. Be sure the
thumbscrews are completely loosened before attempting to remove the modules.
See Chapter 3 Cable Guide for cable pinouts. The pinouts for the connectors on
each module are listed in the "hardware specifications" section of this manual.
