Preinstallation Considerations
Consider the following before performing installation of the Hotwire 8620
GranDSLAM chassis:
νInstallation Site
Your installation site should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental extremes. If you are installing the Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM chassis in a central office (CO) rack, make sure there is a clearance of 2 to 3 feet at the front of the rack to allow access for the installation of the chassis, circuit cards, and cables. If you intend to use the rear cable connectors, allow for sufficient clearance at the rear of the chassis for cabling.
νPower
The AC power version requires a power source of
The DC power version requires a 48 VDC power source (48 VDC, nominal; maximum current draw is 5 A). The size of power source wires must be between 14 AWG and 18 AWG, and can be either solid or stranded. However, 14 AWG stranded wire is recommended.
νGrounding
A ground lug is located at the lower center of the cover at the rear. It accepts 14 AWG wire.
A noninsulated banana jack is located on the left front of the unit to provide a ground for an ESD wrist strap.
