Installing the Carriers 2
Installation of the basic and expansion carriers involves mounting the carriers
to the backboard, connecting the ground, placing the power supply, processor,
and modules into the carriers, and attaching the front cover.
Mounting the Carrier and Expansion
Carriers 2
There are two different procedures that you can use to mount the carrier:
■ Mounting the carrier with the power supply and port modules already
installed in the carrier.
■ Mounting the carrier with the power supply and port modules removed
from the carrier.

This installation procedure requires the use of 4 mounting brackets supplied
with each carrier.
WARNING:
Continue with this procedure only if you have met all of the requirements
discussed earlier in this chapter.
A basic carrier should be mounted on a backboard with 29 inches
(73.66 cm) of empty space to the right. This allows enough room for
system expansion of two additional carriers. There should be at least
12 inches of clearance from the top of the control unit to the ceiling to
allow adequate ventilation for cooling.
