Information
Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the Eclipse
Node, unobstructed air passage must be maintained to each side of
the indoor unit, which requires a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of
side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar.
When connecting the Eclipse, determine the effect this will have on
the power supply circuit protection devices, and supply wiring.
Check Eclipse power consumption specifications and the supply
capability of the power supply system. This check of capacity must
extend to the dc power supply and not just to an intermediate
connection point.
The Eclipse indoor unit earth must be connected directly to the dc
supply system earthing conductor, or to a bonding jumper from an
earthing terminal bar, or bus to which the dc supply system
earthing is connected.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components.
Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent
damage that results in premature failure. Always wear proper ESD
grounding straps when changing or handling the plug-in cards and
avoid hand contact with the PCB back-plane and top-plane. Connect
your ESD grounding strap to the combined ESD and ground
connector on the INU rack ear. Spare plug-in cards or cards to be
returned for service must be enclosed in an anti-static bag. When
removing a card from the anti-static bag for installation in an INU,
or placing a card in a bag, do so at the INU and only when
connected to the INU via your ESD grounding strap.
