3.Assuming the node will be mounted in a rack, it can be secured to slides, or set on a fixed or slide-out shelf. The node can also be mounted directly to the cabinet frame, but this makes access difficult.

Do not support a rack-mounted node only in the front. It must be supported at both front and rear.

4.Plug all cables into the appropriate connectors at the rear of the FRX6000, and tighten the retaining screws on each cable connector that has them. (It does not matter which end of an RLP cable plugs into the RLP.) Figure 1 shows the connectors on the rear of the chassis, and Figure 3 shows some cable retaining screws.

Figure 3 Rack-Mounted I/O Boxes

In the above example, both Line Interface Cards (LICs) on the RLP are 4-port LICs (V.35, RS-232, or RS-422). A T1 or E1 LIC includes an RJ45 adapter instead of an RLP cable and I/O box. (The T1/E1 cable is not supplied.)

5.Plug the RLP cables into their associated I/O boxes and tighten the retaining screws. If the assembly is being rack mounted, attach the I/O boxes and cables as shown in Figure 3, using the hardware provided.

Leave a 24–36 inch service loop in each cable between the mounting rails and the rear of the node, to allow the unit to be pulled forward.
