Planet IDL-2402 [6/20] Hardware installation

Hardware Installation

The PLANET IDL-2402 is a 1.5U high box-type IP DSLAM with rack-mountable

enclosure. It can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack by using the mounting

brackets provided. Mount the shelf on the rack using the large screws provided.

The procedure to connect and wire the system is as follows.

Step 1: Ground the IP DSLAM by connecting a grounded wire (Optional).

Ground Connections

This section provides the grounding rule for the IDL-2402. All remote system sites

must be properly grounded for optimum system performance.

n InCentralOfce:

There should be a CO GND that is adequately grounded. If the measured resistance

from the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below gure)

to CO GND is less than 5 Ohm, then it can be assumed that the system is well

grounded. If the measured resistance is larger than 5 Ohm, it is recommended

to connect the grounding screw to CO GND using #14 or #12 AWG wire gauge

conductor.

n In Remote Cabinet:

The IDL-2402 should be grounded by connecting a #14 or #12 AWG conductor

between the grounding screw (on the rear panel of the DSLAM, refer to below

gure) and the earth ground or main grounding bar. The resistance between the

chassis and the grounding bar should be less than 25 Ohm.
