Rack ears

Standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack

Screwdriver

Screws that fit your rack for mounting the enclosure(s)

Power cords (2 per enclosure)

Link cables (provided with multi-enclosure systems)

Surge-protectors – recommended

Optional items for rack installation

PC or laptop computer with a null modem cable (for communication with the Octaire via the RS-232 serial port on the primary enclosure)

Installation Recommendations

Write the serial number for each enclosure (located on the rear next to the power receptacles) in an easily accessible location before installing the Octaire in a rack.

Use earth-grounded power cords / system with the Octaire.

Attach all power cords (see FIG. 19 on page 27) to surge protector(s) and/or AC line conditioner(s).

Apply power to the Octaire enclosure(s) before applying power to its source and destination devices.
