Installing the D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder
Rack Mounted
The D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder is a 1U unit with connector access at the
rear panel. The transcoder is intended for mounting in a standard 19" rack with
minimum 1U spacing between units to allow adequate ventilation/air flow.
Cooling
The D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder is cooled by the use of internal fans. The
air intake is from the front and the air outlet is on the rear.
Note: Adequate cooling must be provided equalling 107 W (maximum) at 25°C per
unit to avoid overheating.
CAUTION:
The inlet air temperature must not exceed 50°C/122°F at any time.
Grounding
You must ensure that the unit is properly connected to ground in order to meet
safety and EMC requirements. Before any other connection is made, the unit must
be connected to a protected ground terminal as described below:
• Via the three wire power cord of the AC power supply. This connection is
mandatory.
• In addition, via the protective ground terminal on the rear panel of the unit. This
connection provides additional protection of the equipment.
To Mount the D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder
To mount the D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder in a rack, do the following:
1. Mount L-brackets in the rack to support each D9858 transcoder to be installed.
2. Place the transcoder in its position in the rack.
3. Mount the transcoder securely to the rack by securing the mounting flanges to
the rack using the four screws provided.
4. Make sure the air outlet holes on the back of the transcoder are not obstructed to
allow air flow from the front to the back of the chassis.
