Installing into a Rack Enclosure

 
The CRS‐311 is constructed as a 2RU‐high, rack‐mounting chassis. Rack handles are 
provided  to  facilitate  removal  and  placement  into  a  rack.  When  mounting  the 
CRS‐311 into a rack enclosure (Figure 2‐2): 
PROPER  GROUNDING  PROTECTION  IS  REQUIRED.  The  equipment  must  be 
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative 
that the setup is properly grounded –  e.g., use the ground studs provided on the 
modem rear panels –  during installation, configuration, and operation. 
 
PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. The CRS‐311 CANNOT have rack slides 
mounted to the sides of the chassis – air flow must not be impeded. In a rack 
system where there is high heat discharge, provide forced‐air cooling with top‐ 
or bottom‐mounted fans or blowers. 
For  information  about  custom  rack  enclosures,  contact  Comtech  EF  Data 
Customer Support during normal business hours or visit Comtech EF Data's Web 
site (www.comtechefdata.com/support.asp). 
 
 
Review the Installation and Operation Manual carefully to become 
familiar with operation. 
Proceed to Sect. 2.2 Installing into a Rack Enclosure. 
 
 
o Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at 
the sides for air ventilation. 
 
o Air  temperature  inside  the  rack  enclosure  should  never  exceed  50
°
(122
F).
