Installing the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch on a Workbench or Tabletop Environment

The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch should already be in the area where you will install it, and your installation location should already be determined. If not, refer to the “Site Requirements” section on page 2-5.

When installing the RF switch on a workbench or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and in a safe location and that you have considered the following:

Installing the RF switch in a workbench or tabletop environment should be performed only if the chassis is connected to an AC power source. DC power leads required to deliver power to the chassis can suffer undue strain if installed in a workbench on tabletop environment.

The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch requires at least 3 in. (7.72 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (the right and left sides of the RF switch).

The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch should be installed off the floor. (Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the chassis. Excessive dust inside the RF switch causes overtemperature conditions and component failures.)

To install on a workbench or tabletop, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench and the surrounding area. Also make sure that the path between the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch and its new location is unobstructed.

Step 2 Ensure that all the components in the switch are secure and that the captive installation screws are tightened.

Step 3 Carefully lift the chassis and place it on the tabletop or workbench.

Caution The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch weighs 36.6 lbs (16.6 kg.) with all the components installed.
