The AIMA3000 is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack, which must be of good quality and robust construction due to the heavy weight of a fully populated AIMA3000 chassis. Slide rails or a support tray in the rack is recommended.
AIMA Module Orange retaining clip Hold the AIMA module casing upright, align it with the AIMA3000 slide rails for the correct slot and insert the module until it reaches the multi-pin connector. DO NOT use excessive force when inserting the module, but ensure the RF connectors at the rear of the module are securely connected with the chassis's RF connectors.
Only use fingers to fasten the mounting screw. DO NOT use a screwdriver. 4.8 Connecting Optical Cables For the convenience of the user, the AIMA3000 Chassis has a Sliding Fibre Guide to help the operator to arrange the cables. 4.8.1 Using the Sliding Fibre Guide The sliding fibre guide is located in the lower-left corner of the chassis if looking at the front of the chassis and is designed to help installation of the optical fibre cabling.
