To install field replaceable units (FRUs), perform the following steps:

1.Install any expansion modules (Fibre Channel gateways or Ethernet gateways):

a.Remove any filler panels from slots that will have a card installed. Begin by filling the first gateway slot (slot 2).

b.Install Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel gateways, as appropriate to your Topspin system. For more information, see “Install an Ethernet or Fibre Channel Gateway” in the Topspin 360 Hardware Guide.

2.Install an additional InfiniBand switch card:

a.Remove the blanking panel from the slot.

b.Slide the IB switch card firmly into place.

c.Tighten the screws to the on the left- and right-hand sides of the IB switch card.

To mount the Topspin 360 in a rack, perform the following steps:

1.Open the Topspin box.

2.Remove the chassis, rack brackets, CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation.

CAUTION: Do not lift the 360 chassis by the front (bezel end) and back (service end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.

3.Place the chassis on a secure, clean surface.

4.Open the plastic bag that contains the mounting hardware.

5.Verify that the rack provides sufficient clearance for the Topspin 360.

6.Loosen the nuts on the sides of the rack brackets, then adjust the length of your brackets to fit your rack. Tighten the bracket screws when the brackets fit the rack. You can extend the brackets to 29 inches or contract them to 24 inches.
