Installing Nim Cards And Rack Mounting - Enterasys X-Pedition XSR-1850 Getting Started Manual

Installing NIM Cards and Rack Mounting

• If installing the XSR chassis in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack can support and
remain stable with the chassis installed.
• Each XSR AC power supply requires a three-pronged power receptacle capable of delivering
the current and voltage specified in Appendix A. An AC outlet on a separately fused circuit is
required for each XSR to provide power redundancy, and must be located within 182
centimeters (6 feet) from the site. The power cord used and type of outlet is dependent on the
country. In the United States, a power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug is provided with each
XSR.
• Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 0° and 40°C (41° to
104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per hour.
Installing NIM Cards and Rack Mounting
The XSR motherboard provides two NIM card slots with rear-panel access. Each NIM slot opens to
a 64-pin connector on the motherboard.
Perform the following steps to install optional NIM card(s) and rack mount the XSR:
1. Be sure the power cord is disconnected before you add a NIM card.
2. Place the XSR top down on a flat, static-free surface.
3. Unfasten the four screws holding the bottom access cover to the chassis and remove it as
shown in
