Installing and Setting Up the Unit5
The NH2025-10 can operate as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with any of NBase-Xyplex’s
other Ethernet offerings. Switch management is through NBase-Xyplex MegaVision software,
any SNMP-compatible NMS, or through the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Installing the Unit
This section outlines the installation and operation of the NH2025-10.
The NH2025-10 comes as a 19” rack-mountable unit. However, it can be placed either in a rack
mount, using the enclosed rack-mount brackets, or on a secure flat surface. Ensure that the
unit is within reach of the necessary connections (i.e. power outlet, Ethernet connections, and if
the NH2025-10 is monitored through the serial port, a PC, UNIX workstation, or modem). The
unit is powered by a wide-range power supply for either 110 or 220 VAC operation.
WARNING
Free airflow must be maintained in order to permit adequate cooling of the unit. All FAN holes
MUST be unobstructed.
Rack Mounting
If rack-mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, they may require further
evaluation by certification agencies. The following items must be considered when rack
mounting a unit:
1. The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room ambient temperature,
however the amount of airflow required for safe operation should not be compromised. The
maximum temperature for this equipment is 50°C (122F). Consideration should be given to
the maximum rated ambient temperature.
2. The rack should be stable, verify that stability is not inadvertently compromised during and
after installation.
