Physical Installation

If you have already mounted your system, or if your system does not

require mounting, proceed to “Wiring Connections”later in this

document.

You can physically install the SA8220 in either of two ways. Each

installation method requires a particular type of mounting brackets,

and are included in the SA8220's shipping container.

•In a standard 19”rack, cantilevered from the mounting brackets

•In a cabinet with side rail mounts

Rack

Installation Rack mounting requires the use of the large mounting brackets, and

all eight of the included Phillips screws.

CAUTION: Do not use

the enclosed small

mounting brackets for

rack installation. These

are used for side rail

installation.

1. Locate the two large mounting brackets and the provided screws.

2. Attach alarge mounting bracket to each side of the SA8220. Use

four screws to secure each bracket to the holes near the front of

the SA8220, as shown below.

Side Rail

Installation Side rail mounting of the SA8220 requires the use of the enclosed

small mounting brackets and four of the Phillips head screws.

1. Locate the two small mounting brackets and the provided screws.

2. Attach a side rail to each SA8220 using the rows of five screw

holes on the side of the SA8220, equidistant from the top and

bottom, as shown below. The screws for this procedure are not

provided with the SA8220; they are supplied with your side rail

hardware.

Side Rail Mounting of the SA8220

NOTE: The small

mounting brackets have

recesses that allow them

to fit over the front end of

the side rail.

3. Attach a small mounting bracket to each side of the SA8220,

using two of the provided screws for each bracket. Use the holes

nearest to the front of the SA8220.

4. Slide the SA8220 into the cabinet’s receiving rails and secure the

Configuration

Checklists This section contains two configuration tables, the Quick Site

Configuration and the Detailed Site Configuration. One of these

must be filled out before continuing. We recommend using the

Detailed Site Configuration table on the next page. Its use is

mandatory when installing more than one SA8220. However, if you

are in a hurry and need to get a single SA8220 up and running

quickly, use the Quick Site Configuration below.

We recommend that you photocopy the Quick or Detailed Site

Configuration table, as appropriate. Fill out the copy before

proceeding, and keep it handy while you perform the installation

procedures.

For further information regarding the choices in these configuration

tables, see Chapter 2 in the User Guide.
