steps with references to detailed information found in later sections of the manual.
FIG. 5
Installation procedure
Caution: To prevent overheating and airflow restriction, avoid placing high heat producing
equipment directly above or below the enclosures. The system requires a minimum of one empty
rack unit above and below (three empty rack units are recommended). Verify that the openings on
the sides of the enclosures are not blocked and do not have restricted air flow.
To install an Optima SD:
1.
Attach the rack ears to the enclosures and mount the enclosures in a rack; see page 19.
2.
Link the enclosures according to the information starting on page 19.
3.
Following the "AutoPatch Optima Connector Guide" (shipped with each system), attach only the
first two source and destination devices; see "Attaching Inputs & Outputs" starting on page 26.
Do not apply power to the devices until after the Optima SD has power (Step 5).
4.
Optional – Establish communication with an external control device; see page 22.
5.
Apply power to the system according to the power-up procedure; see "Applying Power & Startup"
on page 29.
Note: We recommend using a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.
6.
Execute a test switch to ensure the system is working properly; see "Executing a Test Switch" on
page 31.
7.
When the test switch works correctly, attach the remaining source and destination devices.
