3.2 SETTING UP THE ENTERASYS MATRIX N7 CHASSIS
The following sections describe the procedures that must be followed to complete the installation
of the N7 chassis.
3.2.1 Order of Installation
Once a suitable site has been chosen, the N7 chassis can be installed as a freestanding or
rack-mounted unit.
It is recommended that the N7 chassis installation proceed in the following order:
1. Install the rubber feet (for freestanding installation) and cable management bar. (Section 3.2.2)
2. Mount the chassis to a 48.26-centimeter (19-inch) rack or other secure location. (Section 3.2.3)
3. Attach the Electrostatic Discharge wrist strap. (Section 3.2.3.3)
4. Install the power supply module(s). (Section 3.2.4)
3.2.2 Installing the Rubber Feet and Cable Management Bar
If you are installing the N7 chassis as a freestanding device, start with Section 3.2.2.1 to install the
rubber feet. To install the chassis in a rack, rubber feet are not needed. Therefore, start with
Section 3.2.2.2 to install the cable management bar.
Caution: Using longer screws than the ones packaged with the cable management bar
may cause damage to the chassis.
Precaución: El utilizar tornillos más largos que los que vienen incluidos con la barra
del cable de gerencia resultará en dañar al chasis.
Note: Before installing the rubber feet and cable management bar, place the chassis
on its back on a sturdy flat surface to have access to the bottom of the chassis.
