3 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Unpack and inspect the various components as follows:
1. Inspect the exterior of the shipping container for evidence of handling that may have
damaged the components in the container.
2. Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with
the packing slip.
3. File a claim with the commercial carrier and notify ADC Customer Service if damage is
detected or if parts are missing. Save damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.
4. Refer to Section 8, Customer Information and Assistance, at the back of this manual, for
repair, replacement, and warranty information.
5. Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires return shipment at a future date.
4 INSTALLATION
Fuse panels must be installed in a central office, equipment room, or restricted access location.
The following guidelines should be used when mounting the fuse panel in a rack.
• Mount the fuse panel in the uppermost area of the rack to reduce exposure of the power
wiring.
• Provide a minimum of 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) of air space (one rack space) between the top
of the fuse panel and the next item in the rack for cooling.
• Adding a fuse panel to a rack may displace a device which may require relocation.
4.1 Recommended Installation Tools
Use common hand tools, such as a Phillips screwdriver, a wire wrap gun and bits, a wire
stripper, and a wire lug crimper to install the fuse panel. In addition to these tools, the following
tools are recommended:
Caution: This equipment employs electrical voltage and amperage levels which may be
considered an electrical hazard. Care should be exercised to assure that only qualified
personnel are allowed to install, operate, maintain, or otherwise come in contact with this
equipment when the fuse panel is energized. Only insulated tools should be used on energized
elements of the fuse panel.
Warning: Never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before
working with uninsulated lines or terminals to prevent electrical shock.
