Safety Information
CAUTION! ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING TELEPHONE LINES.
READ THE CAUTIONS BELOW FOR DETAILS ON SAFETY GUIDELINES TO PREVENT
INJURY.
lNever touch uninsulated telephone wires and terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the Network Interface (NI) as
voltage potentials as high as 300 VAC may be present across the transmit
and receive pairs.
lOnly use No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord, to reduce
the risk of fire.
lNever install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
lNever install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
lRefer to the installation section of this manual for a safe and proper
installation procedure. All wiring external to thisequipment should follow
the current provision of the National Electrical Code.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
ESD can damage processors, circuit cards, and other electronic components. Always
observe the following precautions before installing a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging untilready to install
it.
2. Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit
before handling components. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact
with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
WARNING! INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS) ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. UNLESS YOU ARE AQUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN WHO USES TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES THAT CONFORM TO ACCEPTED
INDUSTRY PRACTICES, DO NOT HANDLE ICS.
The ESD warning label appears on packages and storage bags
that contain static-sensitive products and components.

Unpacking and Inspection
Unpacking and Inspection
WARNING! OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC
DEVICES.
1. Inspect containers for damage during shipment. Report any damage to the
freight carrier for possible insurance claims.
2. Compare packing list with office records. Report any discrepancies to the
office.
3. Open shipping containers, be careful not to damage contents.
4. Inspect contents and report any damage.
5. If equipment must be returned for any reason, carefully repack equipment in
the original shipping container with original packing materials if possible.
6. If equipment is to be installed later, replace equipment in original shipping
container and store in a safe place until ready to install.
Installation Environment
The environment in which you are installing the Compact T1 must meet the following
conditions:
lOperating temperature range: 32° to 104° F (0°to 40°C)
lStorage temperature range: -40° to 158° F (-40°to 70°C)
lCooling method is byfree air convection, requires long axis of unitto be mounted
horizontally
lMaximum operating altitude: 10,000 ft. (3,048 m)
lMaximum non-operating altitude: 40,000 ft. (12,192 m)
lRelative humidity (non-condensing) range: 0 to 95%
For operation outside the defined environment requirements, the Compact T1 must be
placed in an environmentally controlled enclosure.

Assembly of Compact T1
Assembly of Compact T1
The cards should be positioned in the chassis as follows:
Note: Slots are labeled on the top and the bottom of the chassis.
lPower Supply in the POWER Slot
lT1 Controller in Slot A
lService Cards can be in any slot 1 through 6.
Note: When an Unit is mounted to the wall, cards that use the front cable
connections should be loaded from Slot 6 to 1. This will minimize card access
issues due to cable interference.
lAlways install blank faceplates in any unused slots.
