Unpacking the CSX200

Remove the shipping material from the box and carefully remove the CSX200. Visually inspect the CSX200. If there are any signs of damage, contact Cabletron Systems (see the Getting Help section) immediately. Read the CSX200 Release Notes included in the shipping box.

Installation Guidelines

Installation sites must meet the requirements listed below:

•A properly grounded power receptacle must be within seven feet of the location.

•In a shelf installation, the shelf must be able to support 13.6 kg (30 lb) of static weight for each device on the shelf.

•You must maintain a temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (50°F) per hour.

•There must be a two-inch clearance for each side and the back of the device for adequate ventilation.

•Install Cabletron Systems WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs) and the CSX-COMP/ENCR modules (when necessary) into the CSX200 before proceeding with the installation of your CSX200. Refer to the Installing a WPIM and COMP/ENCR Module Installation sections within this chapter for installation instructions.
