CAUTION: Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.
10. Press the two latches near the edges of the supply outward to lock the supply in place.
11. If necessary, replace the power supply locking screw.
12. After the power supply is properly inserted, connect the power source to the wires to activate the circuit.
Installing the Device
You can install Foundry systems on a desktop, in an equipment rack, or on the wall.
Desktop Installation
1.
Set the device on a flat desktop, table, or shelf. Make sure that adequate ventilation is provided for the
system – a 3-inch clearance is recommended on each side.
2.
Go to "Powering On the System" on page 3-9.
Rack Mount Installation
For rack mount installation, Foundry recommends that you use a Telco equipment rack.
The Foundry FastIron compact device supports two different rack mount kits; a kit with short mounting brackets
which ships with the device, and a kit with long mounting brackets (19 inches), which you can order separately
from Foundry Networks (part number 70166-000). Use the long mounting brackets to prevent the Foundry device
from sagging when installed in a non-compliant (non-Telco) equipment rack.
In addition to the rack mount kit, you will need the following tools for installation:
•
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver
•
Four each 12-24 screws to mount the Foundry device to the rack.
WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
WARNING: Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
To install the rack mount brackets and mount the device in a rack, do the following:
1.
Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two mounting brackets and several
mounting screws.
2.
Align the brackets with the screw holes on the sides of the device, then use the screws to attach the mounting
brackets. Refer to the appropriate illustration, depending on which brackets you are installing:
•
Figure 3.1 shows how to attach the short mounting brackets.
•
Figure 3.2 shows how to attach the long mounting brackets.
