4. Base-Unit Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Multiserver base unit. Once installation is completed, you will be ready to configure. It is assumed that your Multiserver has all optional modules already installed. Module installation is discussed in chapter

5.You should not hook up the interconnect link or the system can generate an error message.

4.1 Check Contents

Check the packing list against the contents of the box. Report any damage to the shipping carrier. Keep the packing materials; you may need them to repack the unit for factory update or repair.

4.2Plan the Location Based on the Physical Description and Requirements

Unit Weight: 22 lb. (10 kg)

Temperatures: Surrounding temperatures during operation should not exceed the following extremes: 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C) with 10 to 90% relative humidity (noncondensing)

Distance to AC Power Socket: Should not exceed six feet (1.8 meters). Do not use extension cords that may inhibit your unplugging the system in event of an emergency.

Power: 90-265 VAC (no strapping required), 3/1.5 amps, 47-63 Hz, 135 watts maximum

General Cabling Requirements: Most cables must be shielded to comply with the requirements of the following government agencies:

U.S.A. - Title 47 of the Codes of Federal

Regulations, FCC Rules and Regulations,

Part 15

Canada - DOC SOR 88/475

Germany - FTZ Reg. No. 1046

To avoid interference, do not run cables parallel to AC wiring, or near fluorescent lights or other magnetic fields.

External Converter Requirements: Shielded cables are required, except for the V.35 converter.
