INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FS203

Preparation and Rack Mounting
Installation Option 1 below is the preferred method to install the enclosure to the rack, as it can be easily assembled by one (1) person. For new/greenfield installations, it is preferred to mount the enclosures from the bottom of the rack upwards using Installation Option 1. For existing/brownfield installations, Installation Option 1 must be used if there is NO RU space open above the desired enclosure location.

Installation Option 1: Pre-Install Mounting Brackets to Rack
Position the enclosure mounting brackets in between the existing rack screws, as shown, such that the bottom horizontal flanges protrude into the rack space and align with the RU tick marks.

Existing Rack Screws

Install mounting brackets in between existing rack screws to align bottom of brackets with RU tick marks.
5RU

Attach each of two enclosure brackets to the Flexcore ODF rack with two (2) #12-24 screws from FLEX-KIT. Only hand tighten all four (4) enclosure brackets screws at this time do NOT completely tighten to allow the enclosure to be aligned properly in the next step.
TIP: For new installations, it is preferred to mount the enclosures from the bottom of the rack upwards. Locate the first set of enclosure brackets to leave 5RU of space between the bottom flange of each bracket and bottom of the rack, as shown.

Carefully slide the enclosure onto the bottom horizontal flanges of the mounting brackets, making sure the enclosure is slid fully into place.
Install and tighten eight (8) #10-32 x ¼" flat head screws thru each mounting bracket to the enclosure (16 screws total).
Fully tighten the four (4) #12-24 screws that secure the mounting brackets to the rack.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 10th Enclosure to be installed

FS203

TIP: Up to ten (10) 4RU enclosures can be installed in an ODF frame if cable must be routed behind the frame.

For new/greenfield installations, it is recommended

to:

mount the enclosures from the bottom of the

rack upwards and

leave a 5RU gap along the bottom of the

rack.

TIP: An 11th enclosure may be added in the open 5RU location at the bottom of the frame for maximum fiber density.

Installation Option 2: Pre-Install Mounting Brackets to Enclosure This installation option is preferred if RU space is NOT open above the desired enclosure location

Install (2) screws here
5RU

Locate two (2) #12-24 screws from FLEX-KIT to attach the enclosure mounting brackets to the Flexcore ODF rack.
4RU
Partially pre-install these two (2) screws, one on each side of the rack, in the top hole location of the 1RU bottom-most 1RU of the 4RU rack position desired, as shown. (These two partially installed screws will assist in mounting the enclosure to the rack.)

Install enclosure mounting brackets onto the two partially installed screws, such that enclosure aligns with tick marks on rack as shown.

Install mounting brackets using (16) #10-32 x 1/4 Flat head screws

Place enclosure into rack from the front and allow enclosure mounting bracket slots to rest on the two partially installed screws previously installed.
The enclosure door needs to be open to access all screw hole mounting locations. To open door, hold latches down and swing door open.
Make sure to install four (4) #12-24 screws from FLEX-KIT and tighten all screws to properly secure the enclosure to the rack. .

FlexCoreTM Cassette Installation and Replacement (all cassettes sold separately)

FS203

Cassette change position

Cassettes can be installed and removed from the front of the enclosure as needed for replacement or migration. Open door and slide tray out slowly until it clicks into the second stop position, the cassette change position. Disconnect patch cords from the front of the cassette if replacing/removing cassette. Lift cassette up from the front to disengage it from the tray and remove.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install Patch Cords and Cabling

FS203

Incoming Cable Side

Install Tak-ty

Outgoing Patchcord Side

In the configuration shown above, install patch cords into the front of the cassettes working from left to right, starting with the bottom most tray. It is recommended to populate each tray across before moving to the next tray above. Route patch cord upward to corresponding spool. Repeat process until all patch cabling is installed. Route incoming cables per FS206 and patchcords per FS204.
Install pieces of Tak-ty around all incoming cable in positions shown above close to tray cable manager. Group together all incoming cables going to each cassette. Installing Tak-ty in this position will eliminate any snagging of cables when cycling trays to access cassettes. If cabling must be routed horizontally, instead of upward, it is recommended to install Tak-ty to bottom three trays of patch cords. Cable Routing
Route the cables under the cable holding features, as shown.
When installing fusion splice cassettes, add Tak-Ty hook and loop to cables this keeps cable exiting the cassette from touching the door.

Labeling
Labeling options for the HD Flex Fiber Enclosures allow for identification to follow the EIA606-B labeling standards. Panduit labels, used in conjunction with Panduit Easy-Mark Labeling Software, simplifies label creation and allows for ease of editing and label replacement when necessary. Blank label part #
C125X030FJJ (provided with enclosure) may be applied to the front of the door for enclosure identification - shown below is a view of this label installed in the upper-right hand corner of the enclosure.

C125X030FJJ

Apply the 12 sets of pre-printed part # C125X030FJJ labels provided to both sides of each tray. Cassette port numbers may be printed onto these tray labels. Tray 1 is shown below as the lowermost tray and tray 12 is on the topmost tray. Optionally, tray 1 can be the topmost tray.

Labels

Blank part # C125X030FJJ labels provided may be applied to the inside of the front door - these labels coincide with the tray and port labeling previously installed above. The labeling layout for the enclosure is shown below for typical application. Panduit label part #C061X030FJJ [1] can be used for single port identification, Panduit label part # C125X030FJJ [2] (included with enclosure) can be placed in this area, Panduit label part # C252X030FJJ [3] for 4-port application, and Panduit label part # C379X030FJJ [4] for 6-port identification. Position the door labels across the spaces that correlate to the respective vertical tray position.
