Installation

This chapter explains how to install an IPX 8/16/32.

Site Preparation

The IPX 8/16/32 site must meet the following requirements:

•Space

Each IPX 16/32 cabinet requires a ﬂoor space of 22 inches (55.9 cm) wide and 80 inches

(203.2 cm) deep. Each IPX 8 cabinet requires a ﬂoor space 19 inches (48.25 cm) wide and

24 inches (61.0 cm) deep. This depth measurement allows for opening the front andback cabinet

doors. Sufﬁcient clearance around the cabinet is also necessary to allow access to the front and

back of the cabinet while the doors are open.

•Power

An AC or DC power source must be available within six feet of the IPX 16/32 cabinet. At 180 to

264 VAC, an IPX 16 may require up to 9.2 A maximum (1700 VA) and an IPX 32 up to 17 A

maximum (3100 VA). At –42 to -56 VDC, an IPX 16 may require up to 28 A maximum (1200

W) and an IPX 32 up to 50 A maximum (2100 W).

•Cooling

The site must be capable of maintaining an ambient temperature of 40˚C (max.) while the system

is operating (recommended range is 20˚C to 30˚C). Each fully loaded IPX 8 node dissipates

approximately 1300 BTUs (0.38 KW hour) to the room; the IPX 16 cabinet, 3419 BTUs (1 KW

hour), and the IPX 32 cabinet, 6836 BTUs (2 KW hour).

•Weight

Each fully loaded IPX 32 cabinet can weigh up to 700 lbs (318 kgs). A fully loaded IPX 16

cabinet can weigh up to 400 lbs (182 kgs). Each fully loaded IPX 8 cabinet can weigh up to

125 lbs. (55 kgs).

•Flooring

Raised ﬂooring with sufﬁcient under-ﬂoor space to house the cables is recommended.

•Mounting

The IPX 8 cabinet can be mounted in a rack or be left free-standing. The location of the IPX

should give consideration to the routing of the data cables and the termination of the telephone

company or common carrier circuits.

2-2 IPX Installation Manual

Site Preparation

Seismic Considerations

To provide protection against seismic activity, the IPX 16/32 cabinet is equipped with holes that

permit the cabinet to be bolted to a concrete ﬂoor or to a structural member in the ﬂoor. The cabinet

base has four sets of holes (two sets at the lower front and two sets at the lower rear). Each set

consists of a large socket access hole above a smaller hole. The lower, smaller hole accepts the bolt

that is attached to the ﬂoor. The upper, larger hole provides access for a socket wrench to tighten the

bolt (see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2).

2-4 IPX Installation Manual

Multi-Cabinet Installations (IPX 16/32)

For installations in which multiple IPX 16/32 cabinets stand next to each other, an optional kit is

available from StrataCom that provides brackets and screws for clamping the cabinets together.

The Cabinet Side by Side Mounting Kit (Part No. 210372-00) consists of two top-mounting

brackets, two bottom-mounting brackets, and two screws. The kit provides the necessary hardware

to attach two cabinets at the top front, top rear, bottom front, and bottom rear.

Top AttachmentThe front and rear corners on the top surface of the cabinet are equipped with a small slot and small

screw hole. To attach two cabinets at the top (front and rear), do the following:

Step 1 Place the “L” shaped ﬂange of one of the top mounting brackets into one of the slots in the

top surface of the cabinet (Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4).

Figure 2-3 Top Mounting Bracket

Step 2 Rotate the top mounting bracket towards the second cabinet so that the ﬂange at the other

end of the top mounting bracket ﬁts into the slot on the top surface of the second cabinet

(Figure 2-4).

Step 3 Secure the mounting bracket by inserting the provided screw into the elongated hole in the

mounting bracket and screwing it in the hole in the cabinet (Figure 2-4).

Step 4 Perform this procedure for both the front and rear of the cabinets.

Bottom Attachment

The bottom mounting bracket, shown in Figure 2-5,uses the cabinet feet and the securing nuts to

attach the two cabinets together at the bottom.

To attach two cabinets at the bottom (front and rear), do the following:

Step 1 On the front corners where the two cabinets are to be joined, loosen the lock nuts securing

the cabinet feet enough to slide the bottom mounting bracket between the nut and the

bottom surface of the cabinet.

Step 2 Insert the mounting bracket between the underside of the cabinet and the lock nut so that

the screw supporting the cabinet foot slides into the L shaped recess.

Step 3 Rotate the mounting bracket towards the second cabinet so that the straight recess slides

around the screw in the second cabinet (Figure 2-6).

Step 4 Tighten the lock nuts to secure the mounting bracket in place (Figure 2-7).

Step 5 Perform this procedure for both the front and the rear of the cabinet.

IPX 8 Cabinet Installation

The IPX 8 cabinet can be mounted either in an equipment rack or left free-standing. It is

self-contained and small enough to stand on a ﬂat support such as a table or bench. For

rack-mounting the IPX 8, the appropriate, optional rack-mounting kit should be ordered to obtain

the appropriate mechanical mounting hardware. The paragraphs that follow describe the common

mounting procedures.

Free-Standing Installation

For free-standing installation, move the IPX 8 cabinet into position. It rests on four ﬁxed position

rubber feet.

Installation in a Rack

If an IPX 8 is ordered with the rack mounting hardware, it comes with two rack-mounting rails

strapped to the top packing plate. To install the IPX 8 in a rack by using these rails, refer to

Figure 2-8 and proceed as follows:

Step 1 Remove the rack mounting rails from the packaging along with the package of mounting

hardware.

Step 2 Locate the tapped holes on the side of the IPX 8 cabinet. One set of holes is for

front-mounting of the cabinet, the other set is used for center-mounting.

Step 3 Attach the rails to the cabinet by using the #10-32 machine screws.

Step 4 Identify the locator studs provided with the kit (threaded on one end, smooth on the other

end).

Step 5 Secure locator studs into the rack holes that correspond to the top holes in the rack

mounting rails.

Step 6 Lift the IPX 8 and temporarily hang it from the locator studs.

Step 7 Screw in the rack mounting screws then remove the locator studs.
