Verifying Your Shipment
Before you begin installing your SSR 2100, check your shipment to ensure that everything
you ordered arrived securely. Cabletron assembles the SSR 2100 according to one of the
configurations under “Chassis” on page 10 before shipping.
Caution
:
To avoid back strain, be careful when lifting the SSR 2100 out of the shipping box.
Open the shipping box(es) and verify that you received the following equipment:
• An SSR 2100, power cord(s), and a console cable. The console cable is used for
connecting a terminal to the SSR 2100’s console port.
• One copy of the SmartSwitch Router 2100 Getting Started Guide (the book you are
reading now).
• An SSR Documentation CD-ROM, including current version release notes.
• An SSR 2100 software kit with a CD-ROM containing the CoreWatch element
management software and user documentation (in a separate box).
• Rack mount kit, including two rack mounting brackets and fastening screws.
Installing the Chassis
Cabletron recommends that only qualified personnel conduct installation of any SSR
chassis.
Warning
:
Before performing any upgrade or installation procedures, ensure that the
SSR 2100 is powered off.
This section contains procedures for the following types of installation:
• Table-top installation
• Rack mount installation
Table-Top Installation
You can install the SSR 2100 on a tabletop.
1. Select a table that is stable (not wobbly) and is not in an area subject to frequent foot
traffic. Remember that you will be attaching numerous cables to the SSR 2100.
