Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. This may occur if electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and may cause complete or intermittent failure.

---

Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules: Ensure that the equipment is grounded. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted surface of the equipment or the grounded equipment rack in order to channel away all ESD voltage safely to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be in proper working condition. If no wrist strap is available, and you must work with the equipment, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Rack Mounting the 800 Series Standalone or the 800 Series 1+1 System

The 800 series equipment is mounted on a customer provided equipment rack using the mounting hardware packaged in the box.

Prerequisites

To rack mount the equipment, you will need:

• One 19” customer-provided equipment rack. The rack must be solidly anchored to the floor with appropriate support at the top of the racks.
• Climate controlled room: 0 to +50 Celsius, 0 to 95% non-condensing humidity.

Vertical Placement of the Equipment

The 800 series standalone, 800 series +1, and 1+1 Patch Panel are each housed in a 1U chassis, as tabulated below. It is important that you provide for enough room on the equipment rack to allow for the installation of the equipment.

Consider the available space on your equipment rack and the height of the 800 series gateway equipment. Due to the rear-exhaust heat vents and the efficient heat dissipation design, there is no need to leave any physical vertical space above or below the 800 series gateway equipment on the equipment rack.

800 Series Equipment Physical Height

Model	Vertical Height
800 series standalone	1U (1.75 inches or 44.45 mm)
800 series +1	1U (1.75 inches or 44.45 mm)
Patch Panel (one or two)	1U (1.75 inches or 44.45 mm)

Installing the 800 Series Standalone and the 800 Series 1+1 on an Equipment Rack

Both the 800 series standalone and the 800 series 1+1 system are mounted on the 19" equipment rack using the angle brackets and screws provided in the box.

Mounting the 800 Series Standalone:

1. Using four metal screws, attach one angle bracket to the front, left-hand side of the 800 series unit. Do the same for the angle bracket on the right-hand side.
2. Start mounting equipment at the top-most position of the rack, keeping in mind the space required on the equipment rack as described in Vertical Placement.

Mounting the 800 Series 1+1 System:

1. Mount the 800 series unit as mentioned above.
2. Install the 800 series +1 unit below the 800 series unit.
3. To attach the 800 series +1 unit to the equipment rack, follow the previous procedure.
4. Install one or two patch panels below the 800 series +1 unit.
