2-2CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

Installing the System on a Table Top or in a Free-Standing Stack

To install the Switch 3900 system on a table top or in a free-standing stack, follow these instructions:

1See Appendix B for site requirements.

2Turn the system on its side.

3Remove the protective covering from the rubber feet.

4Place one rubber foot in each marked area at the four corners of the unit.

5Turn the system onto its feet.

6Verify that the air intake vents and fan exhaust vents at the sides of the system are not blocked.

To install the system into a free-standing stack, place the system on top of another. Be sure that the rubber feet of the upper unit fit securely in the recesses in the top of the lower unit. See Figure 2-1.

CAUTION: Stack no more than eight SuperStack II systems in a single free-standing stack.

You are now ready to cable your system. For instructions, see Chapter 3.

Place the feet of one system into the mounting recesses of the system below it.
