4.2Unpacking and Inspection
This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all parts have been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred. Use the following procedure to unpack and inspect the HU and any accessories:
1.Open the shipping cartons and carefully unpack each component from the protective packing material.
2.Check each component for broken or missing parts. If there are damages, contact ADC (see section 6 at the end of this manual) for an RMA (Return Material Authorization) and to reorder if replacement is required.
4.3OSP Fiber Cable Installation Guidelines
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the HU and RU and terminated before the equipment is installed. A diagram of a typical OSP cable routing is shown in Figure 8. At the HU, the OSP cable should be terminated at a fiber distribution panel and spliced to pigtails. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link the HU optical ports to the OSP cable terminations. Whenever possible, a guideway such as the FiberGuide system should be provided to protect the fiber optic patch cords from damage and to prevent excessive bending. The procedures for connecting the OSP cable optical fibers to the HU is provided in Section 4.8.
