Physical Installation
If you have already mounted your system, or if your system does not
require mounting, proceed to “Wiring Connections”later in this
document.
You can physically install the SA8220 in either of two ways. Each
installation method requires a particular type of mounting brackets,
and are included in the SA8220's shipping container.
•In a standard 19”rack, cantilevered from the mounting brackets
•In a cabinet with side rail mounts
Rack
Installation Rack mounting requires the use of the large mounting brackets, and
all eight of the included Phillips screws.
CAUTION: Do not use
the enclosed small
mounting brackets for
rack installation. These
are used for side rail
installation.
1. Locate the two large mounting brackets and the provided screws.
2. Attach alarge mounting bracket to each side of the SA8220. Use
four screws to secure each bracket to the holes near the front of
the SA8220, as shown below.

Side Rail
Installation Side rail mounting of the SA8220 requires the use of the enclosed
small mounting brackets and four of the Phillips head screws.
1. Locate the two small mounting brackets and the provided screws.
2. Attach a side rail to each SA8220 using the rows of five screw
holes on the side of the SA8220, equidistant from the top and
bottom, as shown below. The screws for this procedure are not
provided with the SA8220; they are supplied with your side rail
hardware.
Side Rail Mounting of the SA8220
NOTE: The small
mounting brackets have
recesses that allow them
to fit over the front end of
the side rail.
3. Attach a small mounting bracket to each side of the SA8220,
using two of the provided screws for each bracket. Use the holes
nearest to the front of the SA8220.
4. Slide the SA8220 into the cabinet’s receiving rails and secure the
front flange of each mounting bracket with two screws.

Configuration
Checklists This section contains two configuration tables, the Quick Site
Configuration and the Detailed Site Configuration. One of these
must be filled out before continuing. We recommend using the
Detailed Site Configuration table on the next page. Its use is
mandatory when installing more than one SA8220. However, if you
are in a hurry and need to get a single SA8220 up and running
quickly, use the Quick Site Configuration below.
We recommend that you photocopy the Quick or Detailed Site
Configuration table, as appropriate. Fill out the copy before
proceeding, and keep it handy while you perform the installation
procedures.
For further information regarding the choices in these configuration
tables, see Chapter 2 in the User Guide.
