unpack and inspect the fuse platform:
1. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack the fuse platform from the protective
packaging.

3 PRE-INSTALLATION
This section contains general installation recommendations, unpacking and inspection
procedures, a list of tools and materials required, and continuity test procedures.
3.1 General Installation Recommendations
The fuse platform should be installed in a central office, equipment room, or restricted access
location. Observe the following guidelines when installing the fuse platform:
• Mount the fuse platform in the upper area of the rack or cabinet to reduce exposure of the
power wiring. Provide a minimum of 1.75 inches (4.45 cm) of air space (one rack space)
above and below the fuse platform to allow air to freely circulate.
• Be aware that adding a fuse platform to the rack may displace a device which may require
relocation.
• Use common hand tools to install the fuse platform (see Section 3.2 below). The use of a
power screwdriver to install the self-tapping screws that attach the mounting brackets to
the rack is also recommended.

The following tools are required to install the fuse platform:
• Phillips screwdrivers (#1 and #2)
• Flat-blade screwdrivers (medium and large)
• Torque screwdriver calibrated in pound-force inches or Newton meters

• 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch sockets (for torque wrench)
