General
This instruction sheet provides procedures for installing the following framework hardware:
• Lower express troughs and jumper retainers
• Lower transition troughs
• Upper express troughs including: upper horizontal express troughs, upper horizontal through troughs,
and upper horizontal cross-aisle express troughs
• Cross-aisle bridging troughs and ramps.
These framework hardware piece parts are used with the DSX-1/1C Systems (Bantam Plus and 800- and
900-Series) and the Digital Interconnect and Cross-Connect Interface Systems (DIXI-1 and DIXI-3). All of the
hardware covered in this instruction sheet is designed to mount on 23-inch (584 mm) bay frames.
The express troughs and jumper retainers are also supplied with certain ED-6C157-31 groups. ED-6C15731framework groups consist of various ED-6C157-30 individual groups assembled to facilitate the engineering
and ordering of framework hardware needed to construct bays for specific applications.
For Cross-Aisle Troughs where adjacent lineups are not parallel, refer to ED-6C157-30, Grouping Offset
Cross-Aisle kit. The trough kit may be used with DSX1 and DSX3 equipment bay lineups with 2 ft.-3 in. and
3 ft-0 in. aisle spacing. See Page 13.

Installing Upper Horizontal Express Troughs And Upper Horizontal Through Troughs
Figure 3 shows Group 16 upper horizontal express trough installation. Groups 24 and 28, 54, 57, 67, and 69
upper horizontal express troughs and Groups 11, 22, and 26 upper horizontal through troughs are installed in
the same way.
1. Locate the mounting hole positions for the upper horizontal express trough. The top edge of trough is
aligned with the bottom edge of bay frame top.
2. Fasten the trough to the frame with four No. 12-24 by 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) long screws provided.
Note:
The 8-inch (203 mm) and 6-inch (152 mm) high troughs use eight screws (four per side) for
installation. The 4-inch (102 mm) high troughs use four screws (two per side)
.

Determining The Cross-aisle Bridging Framework Hardware Location
• Determine the location of the cross-aisle bridging hardware in the lineup (see Figure 5).
• Cross-aisle bridging troughs and ramps should be placed in every third bay in a lineup, starting with
bay No. 2.
• Cross-aisle troughs and ramps should not be mounted in bays equipped with ancillary equipment
mounted above the last (top) DSX panel.

Installing Upper Horizontal Cross-aisle Through Troughs
Figure 6 shows Group 10 upper horizontal cross-aisle through trough installation. Groups 23 and 27 mount the
same way.
1. Locate the mounting hole positions for the upper horizontal cross-aisle through trough. Align the top edge
of the through trough with the bottom edge of the bay frame top.
2. Fasten the through trough to the frame with four No. 12-24 by 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) long screws.
Note:
The 8-inch (203 mm) and 6-inch (152 mm) high troughs (Groups 10 and 23) use eight screws
(four per side) for each through trough. The 4-inch (102 mm) high through trough (Group 27)
uses four screws (two per side).
3. If desired, fasten back plate to the through trough using four No. 12-24 by 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) long screws.
Note:
The backplate is not installed if jumpers are routed to the non cross-connect side of the bay
frame.

Installing Cross-aisle Bridging Trough And Bridging Trough Ramps To
Cross-connect Side Of Bay
Figure 7 shows Groups 4 and 9 installation. The other recommended cross-aisle group configurations install in
the same way. If necessary, refer to Table 2 on Page 7 for recommended cross-aisle bridging hardware
(bridging troughs, ramps, and upper horizontal thru troughs) configurations.
1. Fasten cross-aisle bridging trough ramp to upper horizontal cross-aisle through trough with six No. 12-24
by 3/8-inch (5.5 by 9.5 mm) screws (see Figure 7).
Note:
If frame is not equipped with upper horizontal cross-aisle through trough, or if the cross-aisle
bridging trough and ramps are being installed to the non cross-connect side of the bay frame, use
adapter brackets to secure bridging trough ramps to frames (see Figure 8 on Page 11).
2. Repeat Step 1 for other side of aisle.
3. Fasten cross-aisle bridging trough to bridging trough ramps with four No. 12-24 by 3/8-inch (9.5 mm)
screws and No. 12-24 acorn nuts.
4. Secure bridging trough to overhead support with 5/8-inch -11 (15.8 mm) threaded rod (see Figure 9 on
Page 12).
