2.4  Mounting the Unit 
Optimux-106 is designed for installation as a desktop unit. It can also be 
mounted in a 19" rack. For rack mounting instructions, refer to the RM-33-2 
installation kit manual that comes with the RM kit for plastic enclosure unit and 
RM-35 or WM-35 rack mount kits for the metal enclosure unit. 
If Optimux-106 is to be used as a desktop unit, place and secure the unit on a 
stable, non-movable surface. 
Refer to the clearance and temperature requirements in 
Site Requirements and 
Prerequisites

2.5  Connecting the Interfaces 
Eye damage may be caused by a broken or unterminated fiber optic or connector 
if the laser beam is viewed directly or with improper optical instruments. The 
laser beam is invisible. 
Access to the inside of the equipment is permitted only to qualified and 
authorized service personnel. 
Disconnect the unit from the power line and from all the cables before removing 
cover. 
Dangerous high voltages are present inside the Optimux-106 when it is 
connected to power and/or to the links. Moreover, under external fault 
conditions, dangerous high voltages may appear on the lines connected to the 
Optimux-106. 
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under 
voltage should be avoided as much as possible and, when inevitable, would be 
carried out only by a skilled technician who is aware of the hazard involved. 
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even after the instrument 
has been disconnected from its source of supply. 
Optimux-106 contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To 
prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the internal components. 
Optimux-106 includes Class 1 lasers. For your safety: 
•  Do not look directly into the optical connectors while the unit is operating. 
The laser beams are invisible. 
•  Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. 
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Laser 
power up to 1 mW at 1300 nm and 1550 nm could be collected by an optical 
instrument. 
Use of controls or performing procedures other than those specified herein may 
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
