RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION
The MX2810 can be mounted into a standard 19-inch or 23-inch
equipment rack. Follow these steps to mount your unit into a rack:
1. Install the mounting flanges on each side of the MX2810 at one
of the three available positions.
2. After the flanges have been installed, position the MX2810 at
the correct location within the rack and secure the mounting
flanges to the mounting rails of the rack.
3. Make all network, DSX terminations, and power connections to
the rear of the unit. See Power Up on page 2-2 for more
information on making the DC power connection.
4. Connect a VT100 terminal device to the
CRAFT
port on the
front panel of the unit.
Connecting the Breakout Panel
The optional breakout panel (P/N 1200291L1) connects to the
MX2810 via the
IN
and
OUT
Champ connectors located on the back
of the unit, and provides 28 RJ connectors for the individual T1s/
E1s. Shipment includes two six-foot, 64-pin to 64-pin Amp cables
which allow direct cabling to the MX2810. Connect the breakout

Be sure to install the flanges with the screws provided.
Two MX2810s may be stacked with no spacing between units. ADTRAN
recommends 1U (1.75") of separation above and below the two stacked
units. This spacing allows the unit to dissipate heat. The design of the
MX2810 uses the chassis to distribute heat generated by the unit's
internal cards. This design allows the unit to operate without a cooling
fan, which increases the overall reliability of the unit.
