4.6.1Installing the SFCS-1000

To install the SFCS-1000 in the equipment rack, use the following procedure:

1.Choose a rack position for the SFCS-1000.

WARNING! Because of the unit’s weight, two people should lift the unit to place it in the equipment rack.

2.Place the SFCS-1000 in the rack with the front of the unit facing forward.

CAUTION When it is mounted in the equipment rack, do not use the SFCS-1000 chassis to support other equipment. This could overload the mounting

brackets and cause damage to the unit.

3.After mounting the enclosure, verify that the enclosure is screwed tightly to the rack to ensure that proper grounding is maintained. Additionally, the rack should be connected to an earth ground.

NOTE: The SFCS-1000 is an operational ATM switch at this point if used with other Cabletron switches or with ATM interface cards. How- ever, if other vendor equipment is connected, you may have to complete an initial user con- figuration.

NOTE: If you wish to have remote access to the switch, you must first install a serial cable and configure a modem. Please refer to sub- sections 4.7 and 4.8 for more information.
