The Next Step
Before installing E-series routers, be sure you:
Have a plan for installing E-series routers. This plan should consider future
!
expansion of your system.
!
Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
!
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and back of the
chassis for cable routing and other unit access. See
on page
26
for more information.
!
Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each
E-series router and plenum you will install.
When installing the system on a table top or in any other freestanding mode, be
sure to leave enough space around the system for adequate ventilation. Position the
router with easy access to the connections that it needs for power, local
communications, and remote communications.
See Chapter 3, Installation Guidelines and Requirements, and Chapter 11, System
Specifications, for more information.
Two people are required to lift an E-series router.
