Make sure the Model 2750 is turned off, the line cord is disconnected,
and it is not connected to any external circuitry.
Select a location in the rack. The mainframe takes up 3H -inches of vertical space.
Using Figure 1-3 as a guide, install two retaining clips on the left front rail. Slide
each retaining clip over a mounting hole such that the captive nut is positioned on
the inside of the rack cabinet. In a similar manner, install two retaining clips on the
right front rail.
Remove the four foot assemblies from the bottom of the Model 2750. The retaining
screw for an assembly is located under the rubber foot. Simply pull off the rubber
feet to gain access to the screws. Retain these foot assemblies for future use.
Position the Model 2750 in the rack and loosely attach the front panel to the rack
rails using the four supplied dress screws.
Tighten the four dress screws.
For a Model 2750 that has two or more installed switching modules,
rear brackets are required to support the additional weight. The Model
