Installing A Chassis
All AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed.
Follow these steps to install a chassis:
1.
Read the safety information
The SwitchBlade Safety and Statutory Information booklet includes all
relevant safety information. A copy of the safety booklet is supplied with
each chassis. A PDF version can be found on the CD-ROM that ships with
every switch controller and every chassis, or can be downloaded from
www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/support/switchblade/.
2.
Gather the tools and equipment you will need
To install the chassis in a rack you will need a Phillips #2 screwdriver,
screws and cage nuts.
Due to the chassis' size and weight, it is recommended that you have someone assist you
with the rack-mounting procedure.
3.
Choose a suitable site for the switch
Either a stable flat surface or a 19 inch rack. For more information, see
"Selecting A Site" earlier in this guide.
4.
Unpack the chassis and place it in its operating location
If installing the chassis in a rack:
•
Ensure the rack has sufficient space for the chassis and its associated
cables.
•
Check the rack-mounting brackets. The brackets can be front or mid
mounted.
•
Install the rack crossbar in the rack, just below the chassis' intended
position (see Figure 1 on page -6). The crossbar will support the chassis'
weight during installation.
•
Mount the chassis in the rack. This step is easier and safer if performed
by two people.
