The concentrator can be mounted in an open or closed EIA-standard
19-inch rack using the rack-mount bracket kit. The rack-mount bracket kit consists of the following materials:
Following is the procedure for rack-mounting the concentrator:
Step 1 Attach a rack-mount (L-shaped) bracket to each side of the concentrator with the supplied Phillips machine screws. Mount each bracket with the tab positioned toward the front or rear, depending on your installation, of the concentrator. (See Figure 3-1.)
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings."The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
Step 2 Secure both brackets tightly.
Step 3 Position the concentrator in the rack at the desired location and align the holes on the bracket tabs with the holes in the rack.
Step 4 Attach the concentrator to the rack using screws you provide. (See Figure 3-2.)
Step 5 Proceed to the section "What to Do after the Hardware Is Installed."
The concentrator operates at a low noise level, which makes it suitable for any desktop environment. Place it on a clear and level location. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) clearance at the sides for proper ventilation, and sufficient space at the rear for easy access to cables, LEDs, and line cards. Proceed to the section "What to Do after the Hardware Is Installed."
 | Caution To prevent overheating damage, do not stack any other equipment on top of the concentrator chassis. |
After installing the chassis hardware, proceed to the chapter "Connecting to the Network" for the procedures required to attach all cables to the concentrator. For the information necessary to configure the software portion of the system based on your requirements, proceed to the chapter "Configuring the System Software" and the appendix "Command Reference."
