1 Installation
This section describes how to install the base station in a standard 19-inch 
rack or cabinet. It also provides some general information on safety 
precautions and site requirements. We recommend that you read the entire 
section before beginning the installation.
1.1 Personal Safety
1.1.1 Lethal Voltages
The base station may be fitted with an internal AC power supply unit. If an 
internal AC power supply unit is fitted, a standard ICE AC power connector 
is fitted in the rear panel of the base station (refer to “AC Power 
Connection” on page 18).
Warning!! The internal AC power supply unit contains 
voltages that may be lethal. Refer to the ratings 
label on the rear of the base station. The internal 
AC power supply contains no user-serviceable 
parts.
Important Before connecting to the AC power connector, refer to the 
ratings label on the rear of the base station for its configured 
mains voltage.
The base station must be installed so that the rear of the base station is 
located in a service access area. The plug of the AC power supply cord is 
intended as the disconnect device. Therefore, the socket-outlet must be 
installed near the equipment and must be readily accessible.
Ensure that all power sources (AC and
 DC) are disconnected 
before opening the base station.
1.1.2 Explosive Environments
Warning!! Do not operate base station equipment near 
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive 
atmosphere. Operating the equipment in these 
environments is a definite safety hazard.
