Deployment and Installation Guide

Site Environmental Prep

To account for the diverse climates in Pakistan, SKYRS deployment standards include:

• Thermal Management: Operate between -5°C and 45°C. For the 370W LPS-L model, ensure standard rack ventilation to dissipate internal heat.

• Power Protection: Due to local grid instability and frequent surges, an Online UPS (minimum 1KVA to 1.5KVA) is mandatory to protect the internal PoE circuitry.

• Rack Space: 1U standard 19-inch rack. Ensure at least 3 inches of clearance for intake and exhaust.

Physical Installation Steps

1. Mounting: Secure the rack-mount brackets to the chassis and mount them into the rack rails using M6 screws.

2. Stacking (Optional): If stacking multiple units, install the FlexStack-Plus module in the rear slot and connect the stacking cables before powering on the stack.

3. Cabling: Use Cat6 or Cat6A cables for Gigabit downlinks. Insert SFP modules (e.g., GLC-SX-MMD) into the uplink slots for fiber backhaul.

4. Grounding: Attach the grounding lug to the rack frame to mitigate static buildup and surge risks common in local infrastructure.
