Installing A Chassis

All AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed.

Follow these steps to install a chassis:

1.Read the safety information

The SwitchBlade Safety and Statutory Information booklet includes all relevant safety information. A copy of the safety booklet is supplied with each chassis. A PDF version can be found on the CD-ROM that ships with every switch controller and every chassis, or can be downloaded from www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/support/switchblade/.

2.Gather the tools and equipment you will need

To install the chassis in a rack you will need a Phillips #2 screwdriver, screws and cage nuts.

Due to the chassis’ size and weight, it is recommended that you have someone assist you with the rack-mounting procedure.

3.Choose a suitable site for the switch

Either a stable flat surface or a 19 inch rack. For more information, see “Selecting A Site” earlier in this guide.

4.Unpack the chassis and place it in its operating location

If installing the chassis in a rack:

Ensure the rack has sufficient space for the chassis and its associated cables.

Check the rack-mounting brackets. The brackets can be front or mid mounted.

Install the rack crossbar in the rack, just below the chassis’ intended position (see Figure 1 on page -6). The crossbar will support the chassis’ weight during installation.

Mount the chassis in the rack. This step is easier and safer if performed by two people.
