Hardware Installation and Connection

This chapter shows you how to install the VSG and make hardware connections.

2.1 Installation Options

The following sections describe the different installation options.

Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes and leave adequate space on the rear and sides of the VSG during hardware installation or when stacking.

2.1.1Desktop Installation

1Make sure the VSG is clean and dry. Set the VSG on a smooth space strong enough to support the weight of the VSG and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

2Make sure there is enough clearance around the VSG to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.

3Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the VSG. These rubber feet help protect the VSG from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.

2.1.2Rack Mount Installation

The VSG can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your VSG on a standard EIA rack using the included rack-mounting kit.

1Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the VSG and secure it with the bracket screws (smaller than the rack-mounting screws. Similarly, attach the other bracket.
