Carefully unpack the equipment from its transit material and check each item for signs of damage.
Check the contents of the boxes against our despatch note and your original order to ensure that you have received the correct parts.
In the event that the unit has been damaged or does not match your order, immediately contact Trilogy Communications at the address given at the front of this guide.
2.3RACK MOUNTING
The Central Matrix is built in multiples of 6U. The depth (excluding mating connectors) is 420mm. Control Panels are standard 19” rack mounting units; most panels are 2U although a series of 1U panel are available and custom panels may be 3U or larger. The Power Supply requires additional space – see Section 2.5 for further details.
It is most likely that a system contractor or Trilogy personnel will install the central matrix. Suitable care should be taken with cooling and ventilation within the equipment bay. There are a number of internal connections between racks of multiple rack systems. Refer to the Technical Guide or Trilogy Communications for further details.
