3 PRE-INSTALLATION

This section contains general installation recommendations, unpacking and inspection procedures, a list of tools and materials required, and continuity test procedures.

3.1General 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.

•Phillips screwdrivers (#1 and #2)

•Flat-blade screwdrivers (medium and large)
