Section 1: Installing the Cabinet
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
●
To avoid shock or equipment damage, do not plug in or turn the system power on before completing the
installation process.
●
Avoid working with the equipment during electrical storms.
●
Use only commercial AC power to prevent shock or fire.
●
Use the power cord supplied for the cabinet.
●
Do not bundle AC power cords together to prevent the cords from overheating.
●
Make sure the cabinet has a proper earth ground.
●
Install batteries with the correct polarity to prevent damaging equipment.
●
The cabinet should not be placed on unstable surfaces to avoid damage.
INSTALLING THE CABINET
Unpacking
Unpack the equipment and check it against your equipment lists. The cabinet contains a power supply
installed by the manufacturer, however, no PCBS are installed. Inspect for physical damage. If you are not
sure about a component’s function, review the information for the component within this manual. Contact
your Sales Representative if you have additional questions.
Make sure you have appropriate tools for the job, including: a test set, a punch down tool, and a digital voltmeter.
Before Installing
Make sure you have a building plan showing common equipment, extensions, the telco demarcation, and
earth ground location. The installation site must meet NEC Unified Solutions specifications in the Standard
Practices Manual (P/N N2710STD**).

Section 1: Installing the Cabinet
1-2 ◆ Section 1: Installing the Cabinet Aspire S Hardware Manual
Site Requirements
The system can be floor-mounted (optional floor mounting brackets required), wall-mounted, or rack-
mounted (rack mounting hardware required). Ensure that enough space is available around the cabinet to
allow room to work with the cabinet for installation and maintenance.
The system requires a three-prong dedicated 110 VAC 60 Hz circuit (NEMA 5-15 receptacle) located within
6 feet of the AC receptacle. Telco should install the RJ21X to the right of the cabinet. Extension blocks
should be installed to the left of the cabinet.
The cabinet is shipped fully assembled. The following is enclosed with the cabinet:
●
1 green 14AWG ground wire (installed to the power supply’s backplane)
●
1 black three-prong power cord (packed outside the cabinet)
Environmental Requirements
Meeting and maintaining established environmental standards maximizes the life of the system. Be sure that
the site selected for the cabinet is not:
1. In direct sunlight or in hot, cold or humid places.
2. In dusty areas or in areas where sulfuric gases are produced.
3. In places where shocks or vibrations are frequent or strong.
4. In places where water or other fluids comes in contact with the main equipment.
5. In areas near high-frequency machines or electric welders.
6. Near computers, telexes, microwaves, air conditioners, TVs, wireless devices, medical instruments, etc.
7. Near radio antennas (including shortwave).
Removing the Front Cover (Figure 1-1)

Securing the Cabinet to the Wall (Figure 1-5 - Figure 1-8)
1. Install the two wood screws to the wall providing the appropriate spacing as shown below. The two
top key-hole screws should protrude from the wall about 3/16” to allow the cabinet to slide over the
screw heads.
It is suggested that plywood first be installed on the wall where the cabinet will be positioned.
This allows for secure anchoring of the screws which will be supporting the weight of the cabinet.
