Chapter 3. INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the D/I Mux III system shelf and common equipment hardware installation.
Installation of the shelves, wiring, common equipment, and the control terminal are given in detail. A
brief description of line card installation is included. Refer to individual line card user manuals for more
detailed installation instructions for each line card. The system software installation is described in
Chapter 4. Configuration and Operation.

Equipment Location

The D/I Mux III shelf can be installed in an equipment rack, or can be wall-mounted or desktop-mounted,
as applicable.
Place the D/I Mux III in an area free from extreme fluctuations of temperature, humidity, and vibration,
and avoid dusty areas. (Refer to Appendix A. D/I Mux III Specifications.) Allow one mounting space
(1.75 inch) above and below the D/I Mux III for ventilation purposes. To avoid electromagnetic
susceptibility, the D/I Mux III multiplexer must be located at least six feet from sources of switching
impulse noise, such as large power supplies.

Space Requirements

Enough space must exist to accommodate the following:
•
D/I Mux III shelf
•
System control terminal
•
Wiring and line card access in front of, and behind the shelf
