Installing the STHI

3.1.2Stacking the STHI

The rear panel of the STHI has four STACK ports exclusively reserved for connections to STH modules. Refer to the STH manual for stacking instructions.

3.1.3Attaching the Strain Relief Bracket

To reduce lateral stresses imposed on TCU ports and cable plugs by the weight of cables hanging from the TCU ports of a horizontally mounted STHI, the strain relief bracket ensures that cable forces pull nearly straight out from the port, rather than prying sharply downward.

Attach the strain relief bracket to the front of the STHI as follows:

1.Locate the strain relief bracket and four 8-32 x 3/8” screws.

Use of longer screws may cause damage to the unit or WARNING electrical shock to the user.

2.Carefully turn the STHI upside down.

3.Attach the strain relief bracket to the bottom of the STHI as shown in Figure 3-1.

3.1.4Rack-Mounting the STHI

Perform these steps to install the STHI in a 19-inch rack:

1.Remove the four cover screws (two from each side) located near the front-most edges of each side of the STHI.

2.Using the four screws removed in step 1, attach the rack-mounting brackets to each side of the STHI as shown in Figure 3-2.
