Mount the Unit

The CRS-170A switch module's small size and weight allow it to be freestanding. You may choose to let
the module hang freely, supported only by the interfacing cables.

You may also mount the module into a 1RU space at the front or rear of the rack enclosure that houses
the modems. The optional Comtech EF Data KT/11708 Mounting Panel Kit is available for this purpose.
As shown in Figure 2-1, the module can be installed vertically or horizontally to the kit's slotted
mounting panel. User-supplied screws are then required to secure the panel to the rack enclosure
threaded mounting rails.
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 Switch and its
paired modems are properly grounded – using the ground stud provided on the Switch antenna
side panel and the ground studs located on the modem rear panels – during installation,
configuration, and operation.
