6. A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated must be incorporated in the
field wiring.
7. The chassis should be connected to an earth ground using the ground stud located between the AC and
DC power sources on the rear panel.
8. The unit must be installed in accordance with the requirements of NEC NFPA 70.
9. The unit must be installed in accordance with Articles 400 and 364.8 of the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70 when installed outside of a Restricted Access Location (i.e., Central Office, behind a locked
door, service personnel area only).
door, service personnel area only).
10. Care should be taken not to upset the stability of the equipment rack after installation is complete.
CAUTION
Use copper conductors only for DC power and ground connection.

NOTE
Two MX2800s can be stacked with out any spacing between the units.
ADTRAN recommends 1U (1.75”) of separation above and below the
two stacked units. This spacing allows the units to dissipate heat. The
design of the MX2800 uses the chassis to distribute heat generated by the
unit’s internal cards. This design allows the units to operate without a
cooling fan, thus increasing overall reliability of the units.
