Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service representative.

The following components should be included in your package:

1 – iMarc ® 9550 DS3 Probe

2 – Brackets for use in a 19-inch rack

2 – Brackets for use in a 23-inch rack

4 – Right-angle BNC adapters

2 – BNC Cables, 18 inches long

2 – BNC Cables, 30 inches long

2 – BNC Cables, 25 feet long

If there is visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your sales representative.

Installing the Brackets for Rack Mounting

The Probe can be installed in a rack using mounting brackets. Two brackets suitable for a 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack and two brackets suitable for a 23-inch (58.4 cm) Bay Networks or Nortel rack are shipped with the unit.

Procedure

To install the mounting brackets for rack mounting:

1. Locate the black screw nearest the front panel on each side of the unit.

2. Remove these two black screws (one from each side) before attempting to install the mounting brackets.

3. Identify six flat-head screws (for 19-inch racks) or six machine screws (for 23-inch racks) provided with the mounting brackets in the hardware kit.

4. Attach the brackets appropriate to your rack size. Tighten all screws firmly.

Installing in a Rack

Two types of mounting screws are provided. Use:

#10-32 mounting screws for rails with threaded screw holes

#12-24 mounting screws and self-retaining nuts for rails with unthreaded screw holes

Procedure

To install the Probe in a rack:

1. Determine where in the rack you will mount the Probe. If your rack does not have threaded screw holes, slip self-retaining nuts onto the rails where the Probe will be fastened.

2. Place the unit so that the brackets rest against the front of the rails. Insert screws in the bottom screw positions and hand-tighten them.

3. Insert and tighten the screws in the top screw positions, then tighten the bottom screws.

Connecting to Power

The Probe requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source.

Procedure

To connect the 9550 DS3 Probe to power:

1. Connect a ground wire to the grounding screw on the front of the Probe.
