Installing NIM Cards and Rack Mounting

Each XSR AC power supply requires a three-pronged power receptacle capable of delivering the current and voltage specified in Appendix A. An AC outlet on a separately fused circuit is required for each XSR to provide power redundancy, and must be located within 182 centimeters (6 feet) from the site. The power cord used and type of outlet is dependent on the country. In the United States, a power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug is provided with each XSR.

Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 0° and 40°C (41° to 104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per hour.

Installing NIM Cards and Rack Mounting

Perform the following steps to install optional NIM card(s) and rack mount the XSR:

1.Be sure the power cord is disconnected before you add a NIM card.

2.Place the XSR on a flat, static-free surface.

3.Remove the XSR cover from the chassis, as shown in Figure 2-1, by first removing screws from the sides and top.
