Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from
damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal
operation. When performing installation procedures,
however, take proper static control precautions to
prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure
of the proper static control precautions, contact
your nearest sales or service representative.
The following components should be included in your package:
1 – iMarc®9550 DS3 Probe
2 – Brackets for use in a 19-inch rack
2 – Brackets for use in a 23-inch rack
4 – Right-angle BNC adapters
2 – BNC Cables, 18 inches long
2 – BNC Cables, 30 inches long
2 – BNC Cables, 25 feet long
If there is visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your sales
representative.
Installing the Brackets for Rack Mounting
The Probe can be installed in a rack using mounting brackets. Two brackets suitable for
a 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack and two brackets suitable for a 23-inch (58.4 cm) Bay Networks
or Nortel rack are shipped with the unit.
Procedure
To install the mounting brackets for rack mounting:
1. Locate the black screw nearest the front panel on each side of the unit.
2. Remove these two black screws (one from each side) before attempting to install
the mounting brackets.
3. Identify six flat-head screws (for 19-inch racks) or six machine screws (for 23-inch
racks) provided with the mounting brackets in the hardware kit.
4. Attach the brackets appropriate to your rack size. Tighten all screws firmly.
!

5
Installing in a Rack
Two types of mounting screws are provided. Use:
#10-32 mounting screws for rails with threaded screw holes
#12-24 mounting screws and self-retaining nuts for rails with unthreaded screw
holes
Procedure
To install the Probe in a rack:
1. Determine where in the rack you will mount the Probe. If your rack does not have
threaded screw holes, slip self-retaining nuts onto the rails where the Probe will be
fastened.
2. Place the unit so that the brackets rest against the front of the rails. Insert screws in
the bottom screw positions and hand-tighten them.

connector. Turn the cable connector clockwise to lock it.
3. Take the end of the transmit cable and push it onto the SUBSCRIBER TX (Transmit)
connector. Turn the cable connector clockwise to lock it.
4. Fix the cables to the rail with a cable tie or other strain relief device.
5. Connect the receive and transmit cables to the output and input connectors,
respectively, of the DTE.
6. If the DTE has a variable line build out (LBO) setting, ensure that it is matched to
the cable length.
7. If the cable length is longer than 100 feet (30 meters), set the LBO on the T3 User
Port Interface Options configuration screen to Long. The default is Short. See the
iMarc SLV Configuration Reference.
