Preparation

Consider the following before installing the DSLAM:

„Installation Site – Your installation site should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental extremes.

„Installation Options – The DSLAM may be:

Mounted with the included mounting brackets in a standard 19-inch

(483 mm) or 23-inch (584 mm) rack (including both Bay Networks and Nortel 23-inch racks), or, with separately purchased mounting brackets, in a 21-inch (535 mm) ETSI rack. ETSI brackets are available from Paradyne. See Appendix B, Equipment List.

As many 4900 Series DSLAMs may be mounted in a standard rack as there are 1.75-inch (44.45 mm) spaces in the rack, so long as adequate cooling is provided.

Mounted on a wall.

Set on a shelf or desktop.

Up to eight 4900 Series DSLAMs may be stacked on a shelf or desktop. Different models can be mixed in a stack.

„Power – The DSLAM operates from a –48 VDC power supply to allow for standard power connections available in a CO. For AC voltage environments, an external AC-to-DC power converter is required.

Cables Required

No cables are provided with the DSLAM. See Table 2-1, Cable Descriptions, to determine what cables you need to obtain before installation. See Appendix A, Connectors and Pin Assignments and Appendix B, Equipment List for more information.
