Cables You Need
The POTS splitter card has three interfaces and each of the three POTS Splitter
card connectors requires a 50-conductor cable with a 50-pin Telco connector. Use
a minimum of 24 AWG.
Each DSL port at the BitStorm 4800 uses one pair of copper wires out of the
25 pairs on each 50-position connector. To use all 48 ports, two POTS splitter
cards and six cables are required.
Preparation
The installation location should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental
extremes. Allow clearance at the front of the POTS splitter chassis to provide
access to the cables.

Installation into a Rack without Threaded Screw Holes
Procedure
After installing the appropriate brackets on the chassis:
1. Determine where the chassis will be placed in the rack. Mark the front rail
where the four holes in the mounting brackets will be.
2. Slide a self-retaining nut onto each marked rail hole and align the hole of the
nut with the hole in the rail.
3. Line up the chassis mounting brackets with the self-retaining nuts.
4. Loosely install the bottom screws first and then the top screws.
5. Tighten all screws firmly using a Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat the process for each POTS splitter chassis. POTS splitter chassis can be
