Installation

• Warning:
  For a safe and reliable installation, use only the accessories and screws provided with the device. Use of other accessories and screws could result in damage to the unit. Any damages incurred by using unapproved accessories are not covered by the warranty.
• Caution:
  Before making any connections or servicing this device, grounding by wearing an ESD wrist strap or other methods is advised.
• Caution:
  The device must be installed in a restricted-access location.
• Note:
  The device has the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) software installer preloaded but no software image. Information about compatible software can be found at www.edge-core.com.
• Note:
  The drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your particular model.

Mount the Device in an EIA-310 Rack

Caution:
For optimal cooling, the device’s fanless design requires a clearance of at least 8 cm (3 in.) at the front, 13 cm (5 in.) at the rear, and 1RU or 5 cm (2 in.) top and bottom, with a minimum airflow of 1 m/s (3.28 ft/s) around all sides without recirculation.

1. Attach each of the brackets to the device with four of the included bracket screws.
2. Use the screws and cage/clip nuts supplied with the rack to secure the device in the rack.

Ground the Device

• Verify Rack Ground
  Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with international and local standards. Verify that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
• Attach Grounding Wire
  Attach the grounding wire (#6 AWG/16 mm2) to the grounding point on the device’s rear or side panel. Then, connect the other end of the wire to the rack ground.

Caution:
The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections have been disconnected.

Connect Power

Connect an AC power source to both AC power sockets.

b. DC Power
Connect an external DC power source to both DC terminals. Or, connect to a no-tolerance DC mains supply with a UL/CSA-approved circuit breaker rated at 16 A.

• Caution: Before connecting power supply cables to the device, ensure that power to the feed lines is turned off at the supply circuit breaker or disconnected from the power bus.
• Caution: Use a UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 and/or 62368-1 certified power supply to connect to a DC converter and a #14 AWG/1.5 mm2 (for -36 VDC to -72 VDC PSU) wire to connect to a DC PSU.
• Caution: All DC power connections should be performed by a qualified professional.

1. Connect the ground wire / protective earth.
2. Connect the -36 – -72 VDC wire.
3. Connect the DC return wire.

• Note:
  It is suggested to use the following for DC power: One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum (-36VDC to -72VDC: Input-)
  One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum (VDC return: Input+)
  One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum, (green/yellow) green with yellow stripe (PE)
• Note:
  The DC terminal screws should be tightened to a torque of 7 in-lbs maximum.

Make Network Connections

RJ-45 Ports
Connect Category 5, 5e, or better twisted-pair cable.
SFP+/SFP Ports
Install transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. Alternatively, connect AOC/DAC cables directly to the SFP+/SFP slots.
The following transceivers are supported in the SFP+ ports:

• 10GBASE-SR
• 10GBASE-LR

The following transceivers are supported in the SFP ports:

• 1000BASE-SX
• 1000BASE-LX

Connect Timing Ports

• 1PPS/10MHz
  Use coax cables to connect the 10 MHz and 1-pulse-per-second (1PPS) ports to other synchronized devices.
• RJ-45 PPS/TOD
  Use a Cat. 5e or better twisted-pair cable to connect the pulse-per-second (PPS) and Time of Day (TOD) port to other synchronized devices.

Make Management Connections

• MGMT RJ-45 Port
  Connect Category 5, 5e, or better twisted-pair cable.
• RJ-45 Console Port
  Use an RJ-45-to-DB-9 null-modem console cable to connect to a PC running terminal emulator software. Use a USB-to-male DB-9 adapter cable (not included) for connections to PCs that do not have a DB-9 serial port.
  Configure the serial connection: 115200 bps, 8 characters, no parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I know if my device is properly grounded?
  Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack without any paint or isolating surface treatment. Follow the instructions in the manual to attach the grounding wire securely.
• What type of cables should I use for network connections?
  For RJ-45 ports, use Category 5, 5e, or better twisted-pair cables. For SFP+/SFP ports, install compatible transceivers and connect fiber optic cabling as instructed.
• How should I connect the timing ports for synchronization?
  Use coax cables for the 10 MHz and 1PPS ports and Cat. 5e or better twisted-pair cable for the PPS/TOD port as specified in the manual.
