26CHAPTER 3: INSTALLING A COREBUILDER 7000 FAMILY ATM SWITCH
To provide a firmer base for the unit, you can choose to attach four rubber feet to the switch chassis. Use the rubber feet and the four M4 x 8 Phillips screws included in the hardware kit.
To insert the power supply, switching modules, and interface cards, configure optical ports for the interface modules and connect network cabling and power to the unit see Chapter 4.
Distribution Rack You can mount the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch in a
Installation distribution rack. This section describes how to prepare the unit and the distribution rack, and mount the unit in the distribution rack. Please read all of the instructions carefully before beginning the installation.
For the basic mechanical and space requirements for the distribution rack, see “Distribution Rack Requirements” on page 107.
Unit and Rack | To prepare the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and distribution rack |
Preparation | for installation: |
1Attach the mounting brackets onto the sides of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch using the mounting bracket screws (M4 x 8 Phillips).
2Determine whether or not the distribution rack has threaded holes. If the holes are threaded, see “Mounting the CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switch” on page 28.
3If the holes are not threaded, you must insert “G” clips. To determine where to insert “G” clips, locate the top of a universal mounting hole pattern on the left mounting rail. In the universal rail pattern, the spacing between holes is 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 5/8 inch, and 1/2 inch. To find the top of the pattern, locate the midpoint between any two holes that are spaced half an inch apart. Figure 2 shows the universal mounting hole pattern.
