Installation Instructions
This appendix presents step-by step instructions for the installation of Tiernan 1U,
2U, and 4U products. Instructions are presented for installing products:
■ On a table top
■ Using front rack mount brackets
■ Using rear rack mount brackets
Table Top Instructions To install a Tiernan unit on a tabletop or other flat surface, install the rubber feet
included in the shipping kit, or place the unit on a rubber mat or other material that
will prevent the unit from sliding and protect the table top surface.
Ensure that the unit is placed on a stable surface of sufficient size and strength
where it will not be jarred or pushed off its surface. Ensure that all cables and
cords are out of the way and that they will not be tripped over, as this may cause
personal injury or serious damage to the unit.
To install the rubber feet, perform these steps:
1. Ensure that there are four rubber feet included in the shipping kit.
2. Break the feet apart from one another. Working with one rubber foot at a time:
a. Remove the protective backing
b. Place the foot under one corner of the unit, with the sticky side against the
unit.
c. Press the foot firmly against the unit. When you are finished, there should
be one rubber foot under each corner of the unit.
3. Ensure that the unit’s location and position provide the minimum required air
flow clearance.
Front Rack Mount
Instructions
To install a Tiernan unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using front
mounting brackets, perform these steps:
1. Ensure that there are two brackets and 4 screws in the front bracket kit.
One side of each bracket has small holes while the other side has large holes.
The small holes are counter-sunk on one side. The side which is not
counter-sunk is placed against the unit.
Note: The 4U unit contains 8 screws in the shipping kit. One side of each
bracket has four small holes while the other side has two large holes.
