ULTRIX-FR12 Installation Guide (v4.0) Physical Installation • 21
Physical Installation
If you have questions pertaining to the installation of your ULTRIX-FR12 router, contact us at the
numbers listed in “Contacting Technical Support”.
Before You Begin
These installation guidelines assume the following:
• The relevant Ross equipment is installed into a ventilated rack frame. The relative humidity in the
environment of the equipment should be <70% (non-condensing). The ambient temperature of
the air entering the front panel should not exceed 40°C (104°F), and should not fall below 0°C
(32°F). It is recommended to leave a 1RU gap between the router and other equipment.
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front, behind, and on both sides of the router for airflow
exhaust.
• Ensure that adequate space exists on both sides of the router and side access is not blocked from
the rear.
• If the ambient temperature of the installation site is likely to reach temperatures at the high end
of the specified operating range, you may choose to set the fan speed to medium or high to
reduce any potential risk. Refer to the ULTRIX-FR12 User Guide for instructions on setting the fan
speed.
• The install location of the router should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
• The socket/outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• The routing system is well planned and designed. Consideration must be given to inputs and
outputs across multiple router levels and typical operating scenarios for breakaways.
• Valid IP addresses are assigned to the equipment.
Static Discharge
Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
Unpacking the Equipment
On receiving your ULTRIX-FR12, check the contents against the packing list. Make sure that all
equipment itemized on the packing list is present and that there are no signs of damage before you
start installing the ULTRIX-FR12 into your system.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact Ross Video immediately to obtain the correct warranty
service procedures. This ensures prompt assistance, minimal turnaround time, and avoids any
freight issues.
Notice — We recommend that the equipment be installed by qualified and experienced service
personnel, to any relevant standards and approvals.
Caution — The ULTRIX-FR12 utilizes front-to-back airflow management (looking at the front of the
chassis). It is a requirement that the front and back of the mounted ULTRIX-FR12 router are not
obscured.
ESD Susceptibility — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.
