Unpacking the Model 3095 DACS
Inspect the shipping carton for external damage. Note any damage before removing the container contents.
Report equipment damage to the shipping carrier immediately for claim purposes. Save all packing materials in
case you need to return an item to the factory for servicing.
The DACS comes with the following items:
• The Model 3095 Digital Cross-Connect (DACS)
• An RJ45-to-RJ45 cable for use with the console and Ethernet ports
• A DB9-RJ45 (EIA-561) adapter for connecting a PC's serial port to the DACS console port
• Rack mounting kit with rack ears and mounting hardware

• CD-ROM containing product literature and the mDSL DACS Administrator's Reference Guide
Note Power cables are shipped separately from the Model 3095 DACS.
DACS chassis installation
Do the following:
1. If you have not done so already, remove the DACS from its shipping container.
Note The DACS should be placed as close as possible to the termination
jack provided by the Telco. Avoid installing the DACS in a location
where the power cords or network interface cables could be acciden-
tally disconnected. The location should be well ventilated. Do not
block the DACS's cooling vents.
2. If you are installing the DACS in a 19-inch rack, go to step 3. Otherwise, place the DACS at the desired
location, then go to “Cable installation” on page 23.
3. Install the rack mounting ears onto the DACS using the mounting hardware provided.
