Description

Transferring the device

Disconnect all power cables and external cables before moving the device.

Installing the device

1. Install the tray or guide rail for the NGAF 2U device.

2. Install the device on a clean workbench if no standard cabinet is available. Make sure that the workbench is rigid for the device and cables, with 10 cm space reserved around the device for heat dissipation.

3. Do not place heavy objects on the device.

4. When installing, take note of other devices in the same cabinet, and do not remove the power unit and network cable interfaces of other devices.

Installing mounting ears

After the tray or guide rail is installed for the device, the mounting ears may not be installed as appropriate. Install the ears in other cases.

Wiring the power unit

Connect the redundant power unit (if any).

Cabling

1. When laying aisle cables, bind them. The bound cables should be close to each other, with a straight and tidy view. The cable ties are spaced evenly and tightened moderately. When laying channel cables, do not bind them.

2. Route signal cables, pigtail fibers, and power cables separately if possible. Do not keep them close, and do not bind them. Bind cables in the cabinet straightly and neatly, without winding and binding.

3. Check whether there are burrs, sharp edges, or sharp corners near the area close to the routing area of the fibers before binding the pigtail fibers. If so, try to avoid them. When wiring outside the cabinet, install a fiber protection sleeve (a corrugated pipe).

Label

Cables must be labeled.

1. Label for power cables: The text is the information of the opposite position of the cable. Fill in the position information of the opposite device, control cabinet, distribution box or socket where the label is located.

2. Label for signal lines: The two sides of the label respectively provide the position information of the port connected to both ends of the signal line.

3. Fill in or print the label text on the full-page label paper before attaching the label, and then peel off and paste it on the cable or the identification card on the cable tie.
