Unit Handling
Unit Installation
The unit running MK.IO Beam Distribution is designed as rack mount equipment, i.e., it is designed to be mounted within a 19-inch rack. The unit should be mounted into that rack using rack rails available:
- MKP/UPH/RACKRAILS
If rack rails cannot be used, rack shelves will be required (one per unit).
The units should not be stacked (either in racks or free standing), this may cause damage to the chassis.
Unit Transportation
The chassis is designed to be supported during transportation, as such, it is recommended that the unit is transported in its original packing.
If the original packaging is no longer available, it is recommended that the chassis has additional support within the flight case or other transportation packaging used. For example, a supporting metal shelf should be added along the underside of the chassis of the unit to support the main body when using a flight case.
Failure to improperly support a unit during transport may result in damage to the chassis and/or cards within the unit.
