PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
5. Installation
This chapter shows you how to install a Pro Switching System for SNMP
management.

5.1 Preparing the Rack

“Preparing the rack off-site” sets up the rack so that a technician can quickly install
the rack on-site, leave, and let the network manager perform the necessary
SNMP/Telnet configurations to the rack remotely.
To prepare the rack:
• Fill Out the Rack Description Guide (Section 5.1.1)
• Configure the Control Card (Section 5.1.2)
• Install Components (Section 5.1.3)
• Enter IP address into rack (Section 5.1.4)
