Installing the Hardware
Figure 9. Installing the XP-2000 chassis in an equipment rack
To install the XP-2000 in an equipment rack:
1. If your XP-2000 is not already equipped with rack-mounting brackets, take the
following steps. Otherwise skip to step 2.
a. Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of
the XP-2000. The mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the side with two
open mounting holes is flush with the front of the XP-2000.
b. Use the phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied phillips-head screws to attach
the mounting bracket to both the side and bottom of the chassis. (There are four
holes for each rack mounting bracket—the one on the side of the chassis that you
exposed in step a, and three holes in the bottom of the chassis.)
Note: Be sure to use the phillips-head screws supplied by Enterasys. If you use
screws that are longer than the ones included with your shipment, there
is a danger of damaging the XP-2000‘s internal components.
c. Attach the other mounting bracket.
2. Along with an assistant, lift the XP-2000 into place in the mounting rack.
3. While your assistant holds the chassis in place, use the phillips-head screwdriver and
four phillips-head screws to attach the mounting brackets to the mounting rack.
Caution: Make sure the screws are tight before your assistant releases the chassis. If you
accidentally leave the screws loose, the chassis can slip and fall, possibly becoming
damaged.
Installing an Expansion Module
Warning: Before performing any upgrade or installation procedures, ensure that the
XP-2000 is powered off and that you are properly “grounded” to avoid electrostatic
discharge while working inside the XP-2000’s chassis.
