•Rack mount: 8 units
•Flat surface mount: 2 units
•Wall mount: 1 unit
General Mounting Safety Precautions
•Keep the area around the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 clean and free of clutter.
•Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the Spectralink DECT Server
8000 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dry, and dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid
areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated.
•Place it near an earthed power outlet.
•Place the power supply unit externally to the equipment.
Installing the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 in a Rack
Before you start installation take notice of the following safety precautions.
Rack mounting Safety Precautions.
• Important Always ensure proper rack earthing. Electrical shock hazards from the
telecommunication network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk
to service personnel and users, the system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire
earth connection.
•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the
full weight of the rack resting on them.
•In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may
cause the rack to become unstable.
•Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.
•Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
•Always keep the rack’s trays and boards closed when not servicing, to maintain proper
cooling.

•The rack ambient temperature may rise beyond room ambient temperature. in a multi unit
assembly, measures must be taken to ensure the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 ambient
temperature does not exceed the maximum operating ambient temperature of 40
°Celsius/104°Fahrenheit. The backplane temperature inside the Spectralink DECT Server
8000 can be up to 13°Celsius/24° Fahrenheit higher than the ambient temperature.
•To ensure ventilation, always leave 2/3 U between the Spectralink DECT Server
8000Spectralink DECT Server 8000 units any other units mounted in the rack.
To Install the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 in a Rack
You can install the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 in a rack using one of the two following
methods:
1Install the brackets supplied by the rack manufacturer on each side of the rack on which the
Spectralink DECT Server 8000 is placed. Secure the system by fastening four screws to the
rack on the front panel.
- OR-
1Install a shelf supplied by the rack manufacturer on top of which the Spectralink DECT Server
8000 is placed. Secure the system by fastening four screws to the rack on the front panel.

Installing the DECT Server 8000 on a Flat Surface
Before you start installation take notice of the following safety precautions.
Flat Surface Mounting Safety Precautions
•Ensure the surface can support the weight of the unit.
•Never install the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 on the floor.
•Never place anything, except ONE additional Spectralink DECT Server 8000 unit, on top of
the Spectralink DECT Server 8000. The top plate must be free to allow sufficient cooling.
To Install the DECT Server 8000 on a Flat Surface
1Remove the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 from its package.
2Before placing the unit, carefully turn it upside down and mount the four rubber pads supplied
in the package. One must be placed at each corner of the bottom plate.
3Place it on a clean, flat, horizontal surface.
Installing the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 on a Wall
Before you start installation take notice of the following safety precautions.
Wall Mounting Safety Precautions
•Ensure the wall quality is good enough for holding the unit. Avoid high-porous surfaces, joints
and similar.
•Never use countersunk screws.
•Leave at least 10 centimeter of free air above the unit for ventilation.
To Install the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 Using the Wall Hanger
For free hanging installations, you use the wall hanger.
1Find a suitable spot on an even closed-textured surface. The unit should be placed minimum
1 meter above ground surface and minimum 20 centimeter from any corner.

Cable Safety Precautions
Before you connect the cables, ensure to take the following electrical safety precautions.
•Always use an earthed socket for power.
•Use a power cord with protective earth (PE) connection suitable for the country where it is
being used and with the appropriate local approvals.
•If using a rack, always ensure proper rack earthing
•Power supply cables must be connected prior to connecting any interface cables.
•The interface cables must be removed before any interface card is removed or replaced.
•When unplugging power, unplug AC mains power first before unplugging the power connector
from the Spectralink DECT Server 8000.
•The AC adapters must never be hanging by their own weight in the AC mains connector or the
output connector.
To Connect Power Cables
The Spectralink DECT Server 8000 has four power plugs on the back panel behind the sliding
doors:

1Plug a suitable power cord into the AC power adapter.
2Insert the AC power adapter output connector firmly into the socket on the Spectralink DECT
Server 8000 so that the retention clip snaps to the plug.
3Plug the AC power adapter into mains.
4If more than one AC power adapter is to be connected, the primary system power must be
connected first, the rest does not have to be done in any particular order.
5When powering down the unit, ALL power connectors must be unplugged to ensure the unit
is completely powered off.
If more than two AC power adapters are used, these must be kept on a flat surface (same
requirements as for the Spectralink DECT Server 8000 unit). In a rack installation the power
adapters can be kept on a tray installed for the purpose provided that the ambient temperature is
below 32ºCelcius/89,6º Fahrenheit, and they have free air surrounding them.
Installing Interface Cards and CPU Cards
Before you install an interface or a CPU card ensure to take the following precautions.
Safety Precautions
Cards contain static sensitive circuitry and may be destroyed or damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
•Make sure you re using proper ESD equipment to prevent damage to the system.
•Fill all empty slots with blanking front plates to close the front.
To Install Interface Cards
1With two hands, gently slide the interface card into the unit. Give it a gentle push on the last
centimeter so that it enters the backplane connector properly.
Avoid pushing on the front connectors - push only on the plastic parts at the top and bottom.
