CAUTIONS
•Isopropyl alcohol is flammable, and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush with
water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well ventilated
areas.
•Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes.
Never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and
permanent retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a
physician for an eye examination.
•Wearing safety glasses during installation of this shelf is recommended. Although standard safety
glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental

Step 2 – Configure Mounting Brackets and Mount Shelf to Equipment Rack
1. Configure mounting brackets to match type of equipment rack to be used as shown above.
2. Align tabs on mounting brackets (two per bracket) with the holes on the front of equipment rails.
Note: If tabs do not insert into holes in equipment rails without interference, DO NOT FORCE as damage to
shelf will result. In this case, tabs must be bent back or trimmed off to eliminate interference. This situation
is usually caused by equipment racks/cabinets being improperly assembled. Great care should be taken
when assembling racks/cabinets to assure that the rails are properly aligned. Use of an alignment tool is
recommended.
3. Install shelf to front of equipment rails using four 12-24 x 1/2-inch screws (provided) for 19-inch (483mm)
rack and 23-inch (584mm) racks and four M6 x 12 screws for ETSI racks. See figure below.

Step 3 – Install Building Cables/Outside Plant Cables (OSP)
Note: All fiber installation shall be done with the internal mechanism pulled out from the outer shelf enclosure
and fully lowered, as shown in the following illustrations.
WARNING::Use of spiral wrap (such as RICHCO part no. HR8R-1/2) for protection of fibers entering the
shelf is strongly recommended. Movement of internal mechanism may damage stray fibers if proper
precautions are not taken..
Step 3A – Rear/Bottom Cable Entry Configuration
1. Prepare fiber optic building cables or outside plant (OSP) cables. See 636-299-110-5 for cable preparation
procedures for metallic or armored cables.
2. Secure incoming cables to 4U shelf per the following methods:
•Building cables – use two cable-ties anchored through slots provided in shelf sidewall and cinch cable-
ties against outer jacket of cable.
•InstaPATCH®or ReadyPATCH cables – use SYSTIMAX®shelf mounted bracket (SMB) or rack
mounted bracket (RMB) per instructions included with the kits (860448471 and 860380781
respectively).
•OSP cables – use 12A-type clamps installed in sidewall of shelf. Use 12A1 clamp for metallic cables
and 12A2 clamp for nonmetallic cables. Ground metallic cables to the equipment rack or other suitable
ground (refer to 636299110-5 for details).
Note: The SMB kit, RMB kit, and 12A-type clamps are ordered separately.

3. Locate cable-tie anchoring positions provided in upper sidewalls of shelf.
4. Route buffered building cables or PVC protected OSP fibers into shelf through oblong openings provided in
upper rear corner of sidewalls. Use of protective spiral wrap around these fibers is highly recommended.
Secure fiber bundle to the sidewall using cable-ties and anchor position located in item 3. Tighten cable-ties
sufficiently to restrict fiber movement but do not over tighten and cause damage to fibers.
5. Route fiber bundle into slack fiber management rings, as shown in Figure 5, so that approximately 1/2 to 1
inch (13 to 25mm) of protected fiber bundle passes through first ring. Enough slack should be left between
first fiber ring and restrained portion of bundle so that a loop is formed when mechanism is pushed back into
shelf. Spool as much slack fiber into rings as will be needed for subsequent splicing operations.
6. If no other cables are to be installed, proceed to Step 4.
