Install the Topspin 90 in an Equipment Rack
There are two different methods that can be used to rack the Topspin 90. This guide provides
instructions for one method. To view instructions on the alternative method, refer to the Topspin 90
Hardware Guide.
Requirements
In addition to the accessories provided with the switch, you should have:
•
Phillips screw driver
• Eight screws and any associated mounting clips to secure the brackets to your rack (2 for each rail
of the rack)
• Two people are recommended to perform the install
Prepare for the Installation
1. Open the shipping package, if you have not already done so. Remove the chassis, rack brackets,
CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation.
2. Place the chassis on a secure, clean surface.
3. Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts.
4. Check the slot in the rack for sufficient clearance.
5. Determine the direction that the switch will be installed and justified in the rack. The direction that
you mount the switch will determine the direction that the brackets will need to be attached.
Rack Mount Installation
NOTE: There are two different ways to perform the rack installation of the Topspin 90. In this
procedure, you will attach the rails to the rack before inserting the switch. This procedure is slightly
easier to perform if you only have one person. Refer to the Topspin 90 Hardware Guide to view the
second installation method.
