Before You Begin Installation
Before installing the device:
•
Have a plan for installing the device that takes into consideration future expansion.
•
Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
•
Be sure that the space requirement of 3 feet (90 cm) behind the device or rack is met.
Do not block air vents on the front or back of the router.
•
Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each device and
plenum you plan to install.
•
See the “Safety Warnings” on page 21.
Option: Install the Platform in Freestanding Mode
When installing the device on a table top or in any other freestanding mode, be sure to
leave enough space around the device for adequate ventilation. Position the chassis with
easy access to the connections that it needs for power, local communications, and remote
communications.
WARNING: Two people are required to lift the device.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage to the device and its components,
make sure persons handling the device wear an antistatic device.
Option: Install the Platform in a Rack
To install the device in a rack, you need:
•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Four 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws for each device to be installed
Before installing the devices in a rack, consider the following guidelines:
•
You can install up to four CTP2056 chassis in a single 7-ft. (2.1-m) rack. Installing
multiple devices in a single rack enables you to maximize your available space.
•
Install heavier devices, such as a CTP2056 chassis, on the bottom of the rack. Mount
lighter devices higher in the rack.
Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure and
mark space on each equipment rack for each device component. For horizontal spacing,
follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements.
