Chapter 1 - Installing the KSUs
1.1.2

Before Installing

Make sure you have a building plan showing common equipment, extensions, the telco demarcation, and
earth ground location. The installation site must meet NEC Unified Solutions specifications in the Standard
Practices Manual (P/N N2710STD**).
1.1.3

Site Requirements

The UX5000 system can be desk-mounted, floor-mounted, wall-mounted, or rack-mounted. When wall-
mounting, it is recommended that plywood first be installed on the wall where the KSUs will be positioned,
allowing for secure anchoring. It is equipped with a bracket which can be used to secure each KSU in a desk
mount or wall mount installation. Ensure that enough space is available to allow the installation of the
additional KSU(s) above and below the KSU(s).
The system requires a three-prong dedicated 110 VAC 60 Hz circuit (NEMA 5-15 receptacle) located within 6
feet (for the 9 1/2" KSU-B) or 9 feet (for the 19" KSU-A) of the AC receptacle. Telco should install the RJ21X to
the right of the KSU. Extension blocks should be installed to the left of the KSU.
The KSU is shipped fully assembled. The following is enclosed with the KSU:
●
1 black three-prong power cord (packed outside the KSU)
●
1 19" mounting bracket for desktop placement or wall mounting packed outside the KSU
1.1.4

Environmental Requirements

Meeting and maintaining established environmental standards maximizes the life of the system. Be sure that
the site selected for the KSU is not:
1. In direct sunlight or in hot, cold, or humid places.
2. In dusty areas or in areas where sulfuric gases are produced.
3. In places where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4. In places where water or oil comes in contact with the unit.
5. In areas near high-frequency machines or electric welders.
6. Near computers, microwaves, air conditioners, etc.
7. Near radio antennas (including shortwave).
