Install an MDF.
Before installing the common equipment, you should mount a Main Distribution
Frame (MDF) plywood backboard in a centrally located spot. A 1/2 sheet of ply-
wood (4' x 4') should be more than adequate for a 4-slot cabinet installation. Use a
full sheet of plywood (8' x 4') for the DS2000 8-slot cabinet installation. Mount
this backboard using suitable fasteners, taking care to follow the standard installa-
tion practices and local codes.
The equipment cabinet requires a three-prong, dedicated 110 VAC 60 Hz circuit
(NEMA 5-15 receptacle) located within 7 feet of the cabinet.
Normally, you install the extension and trunk blocks to the right of the Main Cab-
inet. Telco should also install the RJ21X to the right of the Main Cabinet.
