Installing the Chassis
Enterasys recommends that only qualified personnel conduct installation of any XP
chassis.
Warning: Before performing any upgrade or installation procedures, ensure that the
XP-2000 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 XP-2000 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 XP-2000.
2. Place the XP-2000 on the table, allowing at least 3” of space on each side for adequate
air flow to the cooling fans.
Rack Mount Installation
You can install the XP-2000 in a standard 19” equipment rack. The XP-2000 chassis
contains screw holes for front-mounting brackets.
Note: Never attempt to rack mount the XP-2000 unaided. Ask an assistant to help you
hold the chassis.
To install the XP-2000 chassis in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You
need a phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.
