Mounting precautions
The following precautions specifically apply to mounting the device.
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
Use the screws specified in the procedure. Using longer screws can damage the
device.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power supply handles.
These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
Refer to the "EIA rack considerations" in
Standalone installation
Complete the following steps to install the device as a standalone unit on a table top.
1.
Unpack the device and verify the items listed under "Items included with this device" are present and undamaged.
2.
Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the device. The rubber feet help prevent the device from sliding off the supporting surface.
a)
Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the device to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris that
might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b)
With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place.
3.
Place the device on a flat, sturdy surface.
4.
Provide power to the device as described under "Providing power to the device."
NOTE
Do not connect the device to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP
address, refer to "Configuring the device IP address."
