Hardware Installation

Desktop

Place your CN2510 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, attach the 4
pads from the desktop kit to the bottom of the unit, and leave some space between the CN2510
and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this might damage
the server.

Rackmount

CN2510 is designed to be mountable in a standard 19-inch rack. Use the enclosed pair of
L-shaped metal plates and screws to fasten your CN2510 to the rack cabinet. There are two
options. You can lock either the front or rear panel of the CN2510 to the front of the rack. Each
L-shaped plate has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes open for your convenience.

Wiring Requirements

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your CN2510.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical
codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to
your equipment.
Please take care when handling CN2510. When plugged in, CN2510's internal components generate
heat, and consequently the casing may feel hot to the touch.
You should also pay attention to the following points:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring
paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed
separately.
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be
kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can
be bundled together.
Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
