3.Place the Fibre Channel to SCSI router on the table or desktop.

Mounting the Fibre Channel to SCSI Router in a Rack

Two methods are available to install the Fibre Channel to SCSI router in a rack, one method using ear brackets and the other using rails. Before beginning installation, review the installation procedures appropriate for the mounting materials included in the shipping container of the product you received. When familiar with the installation procedure, follow the steps indicated to mount the Fibre Channel to SCSI router into a

19-inch rack using these provided mounting materials:

One Fibre Channel to SCSI router

Two ear brackets (or two slides rails with two extension brackets)

A bag of mounting screws (eight #M6x12 Phillips screws and four #6-32x.312 Phillips screws)

Required Tools

Phillips screwdriver (#2 size)

Installation Procedure With Ear Brackets

1.Remove the Fibre Channel to SCSI router from the protective bag.

2.Determine where the Fibre Channel to SCSI router should be mounted.

3.Remove any blanking panels and other equipment from the chosen rack location.

Note. To ensure proper airflow, place the Fibre Channel to SCSI router so the intake and exhaust vents remain clear of obstructions.
