1 Introduction

1.1 Product description

The FIST GR2 rack is an all purpose metal rack designed to accommodate the FIST exchange products as thereare, splicing shelves, patching and mixing shelves. The rack can accommodate all provisions for fibre cabletermination and management, for pigtail or jumper containing and routing. The FIST-GR rack is build around twomain units, the base frame and the side ducts, with these items different lay-outs can be created.

3.2 Moving the rack

Moving the rack in horizontal position is possible by sliding the rackwith two people, only using the side supports. Never use the pigtaildrums to lift or move the rack.

3.3 Installation of a side duct (in case it is not pre installed)

2.2.1 Depending on the network and exchange design the kitcontent of the rack maybe different. Racks can also obtained withsome of the components pre-assembled in it.The minimum content will be• the base frame including the mounting profiles• adjustable levelling feet• bottom base duct• grounding facility• wall connection kit• installation instruction, unpacking leaflet and template.Optional: side duct including• drum plate enlarger DPE• cable attachment plate CAP• cable securing clamps• cable strength member terminations UCT• doorNote: Supplementary accessories needed for a specific configurationof the rack can be selected from the GR2 ordering guide.

3.3.1 Remove the pigtail duct from the base rack and remove thepigtail ducts from the side duct.

3.3.2 Release all the bolts of the side duct for 5mm (never removethem completely).

2 General
