The TX Matrix SCC is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other system
components (see Figure 8 on page 20 and Figure 9 on page 21). The chassis measures
44.5 in. (113.0 cm) high, 17.4 in. (44.2 cm) wide, and 31.4 in. (79.8 cm) deep. The chassis
installs into standard 19-in. equipment racks or telco center-mount racks. One TX Matrix
router can be installed into a standard (44-U) rack, if the rack can handle the maximum
configuration weight of 495 lb (225 kg).
The chassis includes the following features (see Figure 8 on page 20 and Figure 9 on
page 21):
A pair of metal flanges and a pair of metal brackets used for mounting the chassis in
a four-post rack or cabinet or open-frame rack.
Upper and lower handles on each side to facilitate positioning the TX Matrix router in
the rack. Do not use the handles to lift the TX Matrix router.
Two electrostatic discharge points (banana plug receptacles), one on each TX-CIP
and one in the rear.
WARNING: Before removing or installing components of a TX Matrix router,
attach an ESD strap to an ESD point, and place the other end of the strap
around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage
to the TX Matrix router.
The TX Matrix router must be connected to earth ground during normal
operation.
