INTRODUCTION
The Network Chassis is available as a 2-blade 1RU, 4-blade 2RU, and 8-blade 4RU. The network
chassis may be operated as passive chassis, or may become part of a Managed System by
inserting controllers, a network chassis display board, and connecting the Ethernet port. This
document describes the installation of the chassis in a typical rack installation.

Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times.
General Safety Precautions
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: To prevent electrical shock, never install chassis in a wet location or during a
lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network
interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals.
Caution: When connecting the equipment to the power sources, check the equipment nameplate
rating to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current protection devices
and supply wiring.
Caution: If the chassis is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to
install the chassis in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature. See Specifications.
Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that air flow to the equipment is
not compromised.
