Installing the CDD-56xA/L into a rack

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).
The CDD-56xA/L CANNOT have rack slides installed on the sides of the chassis. Cooling fans and
exhaust vents are provided here – air flow must not be impeded.
Comtech EF Data recommends that an alternate method of support is provided within the rack, such as
standard rack shelves (Figure 2-2) or the optional Rear Support Brackets Kit (Figure 2-3). If there is any
doubt, contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours.
CAUTION
PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative that
the unit is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on the unit rear panel,
during installation, configuration, and operation.
PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. In a rack system where there is high
heat discharge, provide forced-air cooling with top- or bottom-installed fans or blowers.
Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at the side for
air ventilation.
Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should never exceed 50°C (122°F).
