Cabletron Systems 7C03 MMAC manual Chapter Installation, Unpacking the 7C03 Mmac Smartswitch

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLATION

This chapter contains instructions for unpacking and installing the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch in an MMAC chassis. The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch can be installed in an MMAC-M5FNB or in an MMAC-M8FNB chassis.

Note: Because of the modular nature of the power supplies and interface modules in the MMAC-M5FNB and MMAC-M8FNB chassis, there is no one standard MMAC configuration that can be used as a reference. The way you configure your MMAC-M5FNB or MMAC-M8FNB chassis (number of power supplies, number and types of interface and management modules) is determined by your specific needs. Therefore, to insure that the power requirements of your MMAC will not be exceeded by the addition of a 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch, we recommend that you contact Cabletron Technical Support prior to installing the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch.

2.1 UNPACKING THE 7C03 MMAC SMARTSWITCH

Unpack the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch by using the following steps:

1.Remove the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch must be reshipped.)

2.Remove the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch from the plastic bag.

3.Examine the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch and check for damage. If damage exists, DO NOT install the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch; contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support. Otherwise, install the 7C03 (see Section 2.2).
