Section Seven: Installing and Removing Patch Plates
7.1 Installing Patch Plates into the Chassis
Work outside of the chassis when installing connectors to patch plates. Once all patch plates are populated
with the right amount of connectors, install patch plates into the chassis. Install patch plates starting with the
bottom-most position and work your way up as you add more patch plates.
The following installation instructions refer to all C2X chassis sizes.
1. Once patch plates are ready to be installed in the chassis, locate the bottom-most position available.
2. Align the patch plate pins with the pin openings on the small metal support bar inside the chassis.
3. Push patch plate into chassis until the patch plate is flush with the pin openings. Push pins in to snap and
lock patch plate into place.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all remaining patch plates.
