2.1 Shelf Considerations
2.1.1 Site Survey
Before ordering the system, determine the shelf location, the –48 volt power
source(s), and the grounding for the shelf. Remember to locate the shelf
close to the equipment to be synchronized and far away from electrical noise
sources, such as air conditioners, elevator motors, power systems, etc.
2.1.2 Rack Mounting
Position the mounting ears, as shown in Figure 2-1, for flush mounting or 2
or 5 inch offset mounting in either a 19 inch rack (Figure 2-1A) or a 23 inch
rack (Figure 2-1B). Leave one RU (1.75 inches) of air space above the shelf
for proper ventilation. Mount the shelf in the rack according to standard
company practices.
