Installing the 2-Slot Chassis (CWDM-CHASSIS-2=)

Note Ensure that you install the 2-slot chassis in the same rack as your system or an adjacent rack to your

system so that you can connect all cables between your 2-Channel SFP-Based Wavelength Converter and

your system.

Caution When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding strap to avoid ESD damage to the

2-Channel SFP-Based Wavelength Converter. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the

wrist strap.

To mount the 2-slot chassis in an equipment rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the 2-slot chassis from the shipping packaging.

Step 2 Position the 2-slot chassis in the rack in which you are going to install it. Align the mounting holes in

the chassis L brackets with the mounting holes in the equipment rack to ensure that the 2-slot chassis is

mounted straight and level. Use a level or tape measure to verify that the chassis is mounted level in the

rack.

Step 3 Secure the 2-slot chassis by using four (two per side) 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws or four 10-32 x 3/4-inch

screws. Thread the screws through the elongated holes in the L bracket and into the threaded holes in the

mounting post. (See Figure 2.)
