Chapter 1 - Installing the Chassis
1.1.1

Unpacking

Unpack the equipment and check it against your equipment lists. The chassis does not initially contain any
blades. Inspect for physical damage. If you are not sure about a component's function, review the information
for the component within this manual. Contact your Sales Representative if you have additional questions.
Make sure you have appropriate tools for the job, including: a test set, a punch down tool, and a digital
voltmeter.
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 chassiss will be positioned,
allowing for secure anchoring. It is equipped with a bracket which can be used to secure each chassis in a
desk mount or wall mount installation. Ensure that enough space is available to allow the installation of the
additional chassis above and below the chassis.
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" Chassis-B) or 9 feet (for the 19" Chassis-A) of the AC receptacle. Telco should install the
RJ21X to the right of the chassis. Extension blocks should be installed to the left of the chassis.
The chassis is shipped fully assembled. The following is enclosed with the chassis:
●
1 black three-prong power cord (packed outside the chassis)
●
1 19" mounting bracket for desktop placement or wall mounting packed outside the chassis
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 chassis is not:
1. In direct sunlight or in hot, cold, or humid places.
2. In dusty areas or in areas where sulfuric gases/noxious fumes 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).
8. Do not block ventilation areas in the chassis to avoid system over heating.
