2.2 Unpacking
Unpack and inspect the DX40.
The DX40 is shipped with the following items in the box:
•DX40 unit
•Appropriate mounting brackets: for DIN rail applications the DIN mounting
bracket is permanently attached with rivets; for panel mounting two brackets
are attached with screws
•Document CD-ROM
•Optionally, Ethernet cable - RJ45 terminations, 10' long
•Optionally, two fiber optic SFPs
Be sure that all the equipment you have ordered is included in the shipment.
Remove the unit from the styrofoam end caps and inspect the DX40 chassis for dents or
other shipping related damage. Report any damage immediately to GarrettCom Utility
Networks customer support and DO NOT INSTALL the unit.

2.2.1 Attaching Optional Ethernet Fiber Optic SFPs

The SFPs are optional equipment for the DX40. Depending on the specifics of your order
these might have been installed at the factory. It is also possible that you have ordered
them separately from GarrettCom or from another manufacturer. If this is the case, before
proceeding with mounting the unit and making cable connections, you must install the
SFPs in Ethernet ports E1 and/or E2.
All SFPs must conform to industry standards and they share a similar appearance.

ELECTRICAL WARNING:SFPs are static-sensitive devices. Failure to handle these
devices properly can cause premature failure. Follow proper static safe handling
precautions (such as the use of static safe wrist straps) when working with SFPs.
