proper safety precautions, gathering the required tools and
 Mounts to a Telco rack using 2 KTU mounting brackets or equipment, determining the mounting location, mounting the
with Westell’s A90-31MK30 19" Rack Adapter Kit (not kit, and making all appropriate grounding, power, and wiring
supplied) connections. The following paragraphs provide detailed instruc-
tions for performing these procedures.

- INSPECTION NOTE -
Visually inspect the kit for damage prior to installation. If damaged
in transit, immediately report the damage to the transportation com-
pany and to Westell.
- PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT -
- Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
- Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
- Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
- Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
- This equipment is intended to be used behind devices that
provide primary lightning protection.
- This installation should conform to Local Codes and NEC
requirements.
- This equipment is to be installed in a restricted access location.
2.1 Following Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock. Voltages up to 140 VDC (with reference to
ground) may be present on telecommunications circuits.
Important Safety Instructions (Please Save)
When using your telephone/telecommunications equipment, al-
ways follow basic safety instructions to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to person, including the following:
A. Read and understand all instructions.
B. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on product.
C. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table: the
product may fall, causing serious damage to product.
D. Slots and openings are provided for ventilation. To protect from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat reg-
ister. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation
unless proper ventilation is provided.
E. This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label.
F. Never push objects into this product through assembly slots as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in the risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
G. For mounting by trained service personnel in restricted access loca-
tions only.
2.2 Gathering Tools and Supplies
The following tools and supplies are recommended to mount the
kit.
 Awl or drill with assorted wood or cement bits
 Drywall fasteners, cement-type wall fasteners, or wood
screws (depending on the mounting surface; wood screws
are provided with the kit)
 Screwdriver (flat-head and/or Phillips-head)
 Pliers and/or line cutters

 Marking utensil
2.3 Determining the Mounting Location & Type
The kit should be installed by authorized trained personnel in re-
stricted access locations only. In accordance with UL 60950, this
equipment is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-
combustible surfaces only. It is recommended that adequate
horizontal and vertical space be left between multiple installa-
tions to allow for unobstructed personnel access, proper cable
access, and ventilation. Select a location on a wall which insures
maximum and adequate lighting, air flow, and heat dissipation.
The distance from the cable entry point should be consistent
with local installation practices.
2.4 Mounting on a Wall
The kit can be directly mounted to a wall. The wall type may be
wood, drywall, or a noncombustible surface such as concrete.
The Protect 4 kit should be installed according to local company
practices; however, if none exist, the kit may be installed as de-
scribed in the following steps. Refer to Figure 3 as needed.
1. Determine the exact mounted location on wall.
Review Paragraph 2.3 and also note that the kit should be
installed so that the module assembly is in the upright (ver-
tical) position.
2. Mark the mounting hole locations to be drilled.
Using the kit itself as a template, lift the kit to the desired
location and mark the exact mounting hole locations to be
drilled for the mounting hardware. The installer may
choose from eight mounting holes, for mounting flexibility.
Set aside the kit.
3. Drill holes.
Drill appropriately-sized pilot holes to accommodate the
mounting screws or fastening hardware. Note that Westell
provides keyhole-shaped mounting holes/slots which facili-
tates the mounting procedure. The size of the holes and the
fastening hardware varies according to the wall type, as
listed below. Do not make the holes too large.
4. Partially install the mounting screws or wall fasteners.
Verify that the mounting screw head (or toggle bolt head)
can fit through the round, largest part of the key-hole
shaped mounting hole in the kit mounting plate. Partially
install all screws (or wall fasteners), leaving approximately
¼-inch of the screw protruding from the wall.
5. Attach kit to wall (hang the kit on the screws).
Lift the kit and align the kit’s mounting plate holes with the
protruding screws on the wall, then carefully hang the kit on
the screws.
6. Finish driving screws.
While holding the kit in place, immediately finish driving all
screws the remaining distance until flush against the wall.
Do not turn the screws too tight.
2.5 Making Ground Connections
Ground connections are made via #6 AWG wire either to the
ground lug located in the top right-hand corner of the kit plate
or to the ground stud located in the top left-hand corner of the
kit plate. This will provide a common ground for the mounting.

2.6.2 Customer Side Connections. Customer side connec-

tions are made via four, 8-pin, RJ48C/S modular jacks
(adjacent to each jack is a switch which can be used to set the jack

2.7 Installing the Plug-in Modules

Consult the module practice when installing modules. Align the

module with the mounting card guides above and below the unit
Kit and fully-insert into the slot connector.

CAUTION - STATIC-SENSITIVE
Plug-in modules mounted in this kit may contain static-sensitive
components! Use/observe proper electrostatic discharge precautions
and procedures to maintain personal and equipment safety. Do not
store near magnetic, electromagnetic or electrostatic fields.

Lift and place kit against the wall. Mark the mounting hole locations
with a marking utensil. Set kit aside. Drill mounting holes. Insert and install all four
mounting screws until only ¼" remains. Lift and hang the kit on the screws. Finish
driving or installing all screws until tight.
Figure 3. Mounting the Protect 4 Kit
- CAUTION -
Use care when installing and removing modules - do not force into
place. If a module resists insertion, remove it and check for debris in
or near the module’s or shelf’s connectors and mounting slots. The
module may then be gently re-inserted.
