Safety Requirement To prevent possible serious injury, do not apply power to the Model 3124 system at the central office or any remote site until you’ve completed all of the installation procedures and connected it to the external facilities.
2 • Hardware Installation Hardware Installation The hardware installation for the Model 3124 is simple and without complex hardware setting. However, it should be installed following the standard installation procedures. During installation, basic safety precautions should always be taken, especially, be sure to wear an antistatic wrist strap to prevent static electricity from damaging the system and injury to the operator.
Use two or more people to secure the chassis. Relay rack mounting normally requires at least two people. To mount the Model 3124: 1. Locate the chassis and obtain the appropriate chassis mounting hardware.
This is to guarantee our products against inter- ferences by other equipment while they are working. AC Power Connection (Option) If your Model 3124 uses AC power, connect the AC power cord to the AC supply socket on the front panel of the DSLAM (refer to Figure 7), and plug the cord into the external power source.
2 • Hardware Installation Ground Connection This section provides the grounding rule for the Model 3124. All remote system sites must be properly grounded for optimum system performance. In Central Office. There should be a CO GND that is adequately grounded. If the measured resistance from the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to Figure 1-4) to CO GND is less than 5 Ohm, then it can be assumed that the system is well grounded.
